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.

Lecture – Working Lives: Stories from the Immigration Museum’s Collection

Melbourne Museum 11 Nicholson St, Carlton, VIC, Australia

Working life stories from the past and present told through the Immigration Museum’s diverse collections. Work remains a cornerstone of identity for many of us. Yet the ways we think about work continues to evolve.  Work can shape and share ideas of community, gender, memory, creativity, sexuality, activism, ethnicity, and our sense of individual and collective value. Work also acts as a thread that connects us to people, places, and other times.

Seeds of Concrete Progress: Grain Elevators and Technology Transfer between America and Australia

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

Modern concrete silos and grain elevators are a persistent source of interest and fascination for architects, industrial archaeologists, painters, photographers, and artists. The legacy of the Australian examples of the early 1900s is appreciated primarily by a popular culture that allocates value to these structures on aesthetic grounds. Several aspects of construction history associated with this early modern form of civil engineering have been less explored.
