Radical Women: By Kay Abude & Collaborators

2026 Bass Coast Shire Council Public Art Commission.
Supported by the Victorian Government through the Community Support Fund.

---

In 2025, Bass Coast Shire Council was awarded one of six new public artwork commissions funded through the Victorian Women's Public Art Program. As part of the Victorian Government’s gender equality strategy, the Victorian Women’s Public Art Program aims to elevate women’s achievements and contributions to public life, which have been historically overlooked.

Council’s successful proposal is to commission a new public artwork to celebrate community actions by the Wonthaggi Women’s Auxiliary during a five-month long miners’ strike which brought Wonthaggi to a standstill in 1934. The artwork is located at The Union Theatre, Wonthaggi.
