Royal Historical Society of Victoria

KALEIDOSCOPE
2022-03-31 - 2022-12-23 | RHSV Gallery Downstairs, 239 A'Beckett St, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000, 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.
in 2021, during Women’s History Month we launched the RHSV Women’s Biographical Dictionary, an online resource which builds profiles of women who have been involved in the RHSV over its 113 year history. This project is the work of Dr Cheryl Griffin and from this online resource, Cheryl has curated Kaleidoscope, launched in March 2022 by Judi Maddigan, which looks at the lives of 50 of those important women.
CURATOR: DR CHERYL GRIFFIN
EXHIBITION DESIGNER: KATRIN STROHL
EXHIBITION PRODUCTION: DR DAVID THOMPSON & HELEN STITT
The exhibition is opened Monday – Friday (excluding public holidays) from 9am-5pm and entry is free-of-charge.

An exhibition - Glen Eira Historical Society 50 years 1972-2022

Since its formation in 1972 the Glen Eira Historical Society has collected over 5000 items; documents, photographs, ephemera, maps and more.
To commemorate 50 years we dipped into our collection and uncovered some gems, including member’s favourites, objects large and small and some of the first donations received.
This exhibition will be held in the Glen Eira Council Gallery Two from 1 September to 23 October. Please check the Gallery website for opening times.
