Oxford Street Rainbow Crossing

2013 was the year of the Rainbow Crossing. The colourful walkway across Oxford Street in Taylor Square was created by City of Sydney as part of Mardi Gras’ 35th anniversary celebrations. Tourists loved it, inspiring many cities around the world to paint similar crossings. When it was removed a few weeks after Mardi Gras season, the resulting DIY Rainbow protest campaign went viral around Australia and the globe.
