Melbourne’s all over it! At the Victorian Archives Centre in North Melbourne an exhibition by Tahlia Palmer explores history, identity and perception. Her works derive from the archives she has researched and she ‘interrogates the impact of colonisation on people and Country, and to unpack and heal inter-generational trauma in her own family’. ‘occupation studies’ is an installation of audio-visual works made by Palmer during the first Creative in Residence Program at the Centre.
Whilst over at the Hellenic Centre in downtown Melbourne Pink Ember provided snapshots on the Centre’s collection in a mind opening and engaging deep dive by their poets and writers into ancient Greece. ‘Speaking to Pictures’ was a performance laden with words and pictures, drawing on the Hellenic Museum collection.
Institutions such as these are opening up to artists their lives, our past, our history and broadening our mind on what it is to be.
