Photographic exhibition at Scots Church (May 6th-9th)
During SA’s 2014 History Month the Uniting Church Historical Society
has arranged for a photo exhibition to be held in the first week of May.
The exhibition will include DVD, photos of historical importance and
other material of interest to those studying the history of Australia’s
indigenous people.
The curators of the exhibition the Rev Dr Bill Edwards and the Rev Dr
Robert Hoskin have agreed to conduct 50 minute seminars for secondary
and tertiary students. Bill served the Ernabella community from 1958 to
1972 and Robert has been awarded a doctorate on his research into the
experience of the Mowanjum community in the Kimberly region of WA.
Both communities continue to make a significant contribution through
their interpretation of cultural practices and traditional stories
through painting, dance and song. Mowanjum’ s famous Wandjina figure was
the centre piece at the opening of the Sydney Olympic games in 2000.
Many of the issues currently under discussion, dispossession,
assimilation policies, self-determination, economic security and
cultural revival are central to the story of these two remote
communities.
We have organised seven seminar times during the first week of May …
three at 10.30am, Wednesday 7th to Friday 9th and four at 1.30pm,
Tuesday 6th to Friday 9th.
The exhibition is free. More information on the web site.. http://historicalsociety.unitingchurch.org.au/
