Events from May 14, 2018 – October 7, 2018 – Royal Historical Society of Victoria

  • KALEIDOSCOPE

    RHSV Gallery Downstairs 239 A'Beckett St, Melbourne, Victoria, 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.

  • ACAHUCH Symposium : Parklife 2022

    Glyn Davies Building, University of Melbourne Parkville, VIC, Australia

    The landscape of Quor-nóng/Royal Park has been inhabited by First Peoples for millennia. Following colonisation, Royal Park was reserved as a public park with neighbourhoods and institutions constructed on its edges. Park Life seeks to interrogate the impact of institutions such as the university, hospitals, a prison, a major park and a zoo, as well as local precincts. Parkville is a suburb of diverse building types surrounding Royal Park, and home to major Melbourne institutions including the symposium host, the University of Melbourne. Parkville has played a pivotal role in Australian understandings of heritage, memory, commemoration, and dwelling.

    RHSV Gallery Downstairs 239 A'Beckett St, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
