SUMMARY:‘Love of a crowd\, a band\, and “a gardens’’’: Music\, Recreation\, and Gardens at Nineteenth-Century International Exhibitions
DESCRIPTION:Australian Garden History Society presents \n‘Love of a crowd\, a band\, and “a gardens’’’: Music\, Recreation\, and Gardens at Nineteenth-Century International Exhibitions \nWinter online lecture by Sarah Kirby \nInternational exhibitions were some of the most significant cultural events of the nineteenth century\, drawing together displays from across the world that (supposedly) demonstrated the breadth of human achievement. These vast events\, held in enormous buildings and filled with objects to dazzle the spectator had\, from their inception\, been designed to combine education\, entertainment\, and spectacle. While their educational aspects generally remained confined to the inside of the buildings\, by the 1880s the gardens that surrounded them had become hives of entertainment. These outdoor spaces inherited the traditions of earlier European ‘pleasure gardens’\, combining fountains\, walkways\, grottos\, and spectacular lighting effects with a wide variety of refreshments and carnival amusements\, including music. These gardens became\, for many\, the main drawcard of the exhibitions; as George Bernard Shaw declared in 1885\, the success of International Exhibitions overall lay in the public’s ‘love of a crowd\, a band\, and “a gardens”’. \nThis talk explores the role of music and gardens in the experience of nineteenth-century international exhibitions\, considering questions of passive and active experience\, ‘rational recreation’ and ideas of public health and wellbeing\, and popular vs. ‘high art’ music and entertainment. While it explores many exhibitions and their gardens across the British Empire\, its particular focus is on the exhibitions held in Melbourne in 1880 and 1888\, and the music heard in the Carlton Gardens that surround the Royal Exhibition Building. \nSarah Kirby is a musicologist and cultural historian\, specialising in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century Australian and British music history. She is a recent doctoral graduate of the University of Melbourne\, where her thesis explored music at international exhibitions in the British Empire. She is currently working as the Grainger Fellow at the University of Melbourne’s Grainger Museum. Sarah has published widely on music in Britain and Australia\, colonialism\, women in music\, and music in museums\, and her first monograph\, ‘Exhibitions\, Music and the British Empire’\, is out now with Boydell & Brewer. She lectures in undergraduate music history at the Melbourne Conservatorium and at the University of New England\, is associated editor of the journal ‘Musicology Australia’\, and was the 2022 Nancy Keesing Fellow at the State Library of NSW. \n  \nDATE:              Tuesday 6 June 2023\nTIME:               6.00 start – log in from 5.45\nLOCATION      A Zoom link will be provided with reminder email before the session.\nCOST:              $10 members AGHS\, $10 Friends RBG\, $15 non-members \nBOOKINGS:     https://www.trybooking.com/CHCCX\nENQUIRIES:     LYNDA ENTWISLE – Mobile: 0466 925 370

SUMMARY:Book launch at Elwood: Enchanted Beneath the Bluff
DESCRIPTION:Authors Heather Arnold and Isaac Hermann invite you to the launch of their book\, Enchanted Beneath the Bluff\, Agnes & Geraldine’s Pursuit\nof Elwood’s Elusive Black Diamonds. \nWithin a place of love\, sorrow and salvation\, where Elwood’s Swamp met St. Kilda’s Red Bluff\, two ardent women – Agnes Simmons and Geraldine Minet – with their Victorian Coal Mining Company\, challenged providence and geology.In the days of Suffrage and Spiritualism\, these two daring Theosophists sought to bring prosperity to Colonial Victoria of the 1890s in the midst of the Depression. Their engine\, ‘Helena’ was fired up to bore deeper for their black diamonds\, than any other coal exploration in the world! Thousands of feet of drilling were shrouded in secrecy and suspicion. Their spirit world’s prophecies plummeted to earth\, revealing through cold hard facts and bitter disappointment that the only flawless diamonds of their quest lay within their own altruism. It happened here\, by Typhus Road shadowed by Slaughter Yard Creek on its swamp bound journey to the restless sea? \n\n\n\n\nElwood local historian and author\, Isaac Hermann has frequented Point Ormond for near to six decades savoring its silence\, taking in its views and more recently giving voice to its rich and diverse stories. Author of Kingsley\, Our House & Home\, A History of the Elwood and St Kilda Neighbourhood Learning Centre\, and A Labour of Love\, the Public Works of Carlo Catani\, Victoria 1876 -1918. \nHeather is a Local Historian\, President of the Koo Wee Rup Swamp Historical Society and Secretary of the South Eastern Historical Association.

SUMMARY:1000 babies can’t be wrong!
DESCRIPTION:In January 1961\, 50 mothers marched through the Victorian town of Healesville demanding their doctor be reinstated to the local hospital. Their placards declared ‘1000 Babies Can’t Be Wrong’. \nThese mothers were supporting Dr Arthur Deery\, a Hungarian Jewish doctor and a person of interest to Australia’s security services. \nDr Fallon Mody from Melbourne University will present Dr Arthur Deery’s migrant medical life which spanned 40 years. \nFallon’s research highlights how biographical explorations enable more nuanced understandings of being an ‘alien doctor’ in pre and post-war Australia. \nThis event is being held in conjunction with our touring exhibition Spy: espionage in Australia now on at the Victorian Archives Centre in Melbourne until 7 July 2023. \nThe event is a hybrid one – people can either attend in person or join remotely. For those who come in person\, we are offering a tour of the Spy Exhibition too! \nTo book tickets click here: 1000 babies can’t be wrong! | naa.gov.au \nPhoto caption: Dr Arthur Deery and his family\, 1940s.
