KALEIDOSCOPE

RHSV Gallery Downstairs 239 A'Beckett St, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

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.

WONDERS, CURIOS AND THE UNSEEN

Hume Global Learning Centre Sunbury 44 Macedon Street, Sunbury, VIC, Australia

Wonders, Curios and the Unseen is an exhibition of curious images, objects and artworks drawn from historical and community collections based in Hume. Throughout the ages, people have collected images, objects and artworks that represent not only themselves and their own culture, but also the wider world – its wonders, curiosities and precious items. Historically, items were collected, categorised and housed in people's homes for private viewings, until eventually transitioning to being available for public viewing.
