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.
