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:Australia's Great Depression
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled that Joan Beaumont\, Professor Emerita of History at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre\, Australian National University\, will deliver our July lecture on her profound history of Australia’s Great Depression. \nBeaumont says\, ‘The pandemic has much common with the Great Depression. Australians today have confronted external threats\, that neither they nor their governments could control. Everyone has had to dig deep for resilience. The pandemic like the Depression confirmed how important local and state loyalties are. Voters expected their leaders to protect them\, and only them. However\, there was one major difference in contrast to the Depression: today’s governments utilised sophisticated policy tools\, well beyond the imagination of the Depression-era governments\, to prevent the social disaster on the scale seen in 1929 – 1932.’How a nation shattered by the Great War survived the worst economic crisis it has ever faced.” \nSome generations are born unlucky. Australians who survived the horrors of the Great War and the Spanish flu epidemic that followed were soon faced with the shock of the Great Depression. Today we remember long dole queues\, shanty towns and destitute men roaming the country in search of work. With over a third of the workforce unemployed in 1932\, Australia was one of the hardest hit countries in the world. Yet this is not the complete story. In this wide-ranging account of the Great Depression in Australia\, Joan Beaumont shows how high levels of debt and the collapse of wool and wheat prices left Australia particularly exposed in the world’s worst depression. Threatened with national insolvency\, and with little room for policy innovation\, governments resorted to austerity and deflation. Violent protests erupted in the streets and paramilitary movements threatened the political order. It might have ended very differently\, but Australia’s democratic institutions survived the ordeal. Australia’s people\, too\, survived. While many endured great hardship\, anger\, anxiety and despair\, most ‘made do’ and helped each other. Some even found something positive in the memory of this personal and communal struggle. Australia’s Great Depression details this most impressive narrative of resilience in the nation’s history. \nJoan Beaumont is also the author of the magisterial account of Australia’s experience of World War I\, Broken Nation which\, among other awards\, won the 2014 Prime Minister’s History Award. \nBuying the book \nWhen you purchase a ticket to this event you will be given a code which will give you a $10 discount when you purchase a copy of Australia’s Great Depression from the RHSV bookshop. \nBuying a ticket \nWhen you purchase tickets to this event you will be sent an automatic email confirmation – if you don’t get this email please check your Junk Mail or Spam Mail folder as automatic emails often go astray and fall foul of ISP’s security settings. \nIf you are attending via Zoom we will send the Zoom log-in details 24 hours before the event.
