SUMMARY:KALEIDOSCOPE
DESCRIPTION: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. \nin 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. \nCURATOR: DR CHERYL GRIFFIN\nEXHIBITION DESIGNER: KATRIN STROHL\nEXHIBITION PRODUCTION: DR DAVID THOMPSON & HELEN STITT\nThe exhibition is opened Monday – Friday (excluding public holidays) from 9am-5pm and entry is free-of-charge.

SUMMARY:EMPERORS IN LILLIPUT:  CLEM CHRISTESEN OF MEANJIN & STEPHEN MURRAY-SMITH OF OVERLAND
DESCRIPTION:Literary magazine editors used to be rather imperial in style\, exercising a great deal of influence in what has always been a rather restricted field: literary culture. Clem Christesen and Stephen Murray-Smith projected real authority as they fought the cultural and political battles of the day. \nThe style of their magazines was quite different. Meanjin\, formally associated with the University of Melbourne\, inclined as much to academic analysis as it did to creative writing\, interleaved with speculative pieces on Australian society and culture. It was also highly conscious of the international dimension\, and regularly published work from major overseas writers. \nOverland\, on the other hand\, while also emanating from the University of Melbourne – informally – had an entirely different project. It arose from a Communist front\, and while steadily broadening its approach and appeal\, always retained a sense of being a collective enterprise. Essentially inclusive\, Stephen sought to unite elements across the social spectrum to help create a distinctive Australian culture\, and expanded its infrastructure with some writings of his own. \nWe are delighted to welcome back Jim Davidson who will remind us of the reach and power of these legendary literary figures. \nJim Davidson has held academic appointments at the University of Melbourne\, Victoria University\, the Australian National University\, and in South Africa and England. He edited Meanjin from 1974 to 1982. His books include a scholarly edition of Anthony Trollope’s South Africa and histories of tourism and postcards. But he is best-known for his prize-winning biographies\, Lyrebird Rising: Louise Hanson-Dyer of Oiseau-Lyre and A Three-Cornered Life: The Historian WK Hancock. His double biography of Clem Christesen and Stephen Murray-Smith\, Emperors in Lilliput\, has just been published by Melbourne University Press. \nWhen you book a ticket you will be sent an automatically-generated email confirming your purchase.
