The Sea of Hands is central to ANTaR’s activities. The Sea of Hands is Australia's largest public art installation and colourfully represents the names of over 300,000 Australians who have shown their support for native title and reconciliation.
Since 1997, the Sea of Hands has been as a powerful symbol of the "peoples' movement" of Australians who want genuine reconciliation between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians.
The six colours of the Sea of Hands represent the colours of the Aboriginal flag (red, black and yellow), the Torres Strait Islander flag (blue, green and white), and the Australian flag.

between Aborigines and white Australians.
The aboriginal flag has 3 colours. Black represents the colour of the Aboriginals' skin. Red stands for the earth's colour in the Outback and yellow is for the sun.
