KALEIDOSCOPE

RHSV Gallery Downstairs 239 A'Beckett St, Melbourne

This exhibition is biography imagined through the lens of a Kaleidoscope. The viewer is offered fragments of the lives represented here. There is no linear narrative. Each time the kaleidoscope turns, a different story emerges. There are repeating patterns but different emphases and new ways of seeing, new reflections, new refractions. No one story dominates and one story does not fit all.

BOOK LAUNCH & FILM SCREENING BALLARAT

Art Gallery of Ballarat 40 Lydiard St North, Ballarat Central

Join us for a premiere film screening, book launch, digital map debut and panel discussion about a surprising and forgotten aspect of Australian history – the enthralling history of the rescues of thousands of colonists by Aboriginal people from life-threatening situations such as bush fires, floods, shipwrecks and being lost in the bush. Award-winning author Associate Professor (Dr) Fred Cahir discusses his latest book They Rescued Us! Aboriginal Heroes on Country with filmmakers Lucinda Horrocks and Jary Nemo of Wind & Sky Productions, whose new film Acts of Heroism will be screened on the day.
