13th annual ANU Archives lecture: The Real War? Battles on the Australian home front 1914–19

In the past decade more than 150 books with ‘Anzacs’ in the title
have been published. But for Australians there was much more
to World War I than battles and fighting. The war bitterly divided
Australian society and politics, along fault lines that would last for
at least a generation. In all of today’s national commemoration
we should remember these others ‘wars’—between pro- and
anti-conscriptionists, between ‘loyalists’ and those whom they
stigmatised as ‘disloyal’, and between the labour movement
and an increasingly authoritarian government. Within the labour
movement, too, there was a war which tore it asunder, in ways
that stalled its emergence as a party of reforming government
at the national level.

Professor Joan Beaumont is an internationally recognised
historian of Australia in the two world wars. Her most recent
book Broken Nation: Australians and the Great War (Allen &
Unwin, 2013) has been shortlisted for the WA Premier’s Award
(non-fiction) and the NSW Premier’s (Australian History) Award.

APT7 / Roslisham Ismail (aka Ise) discusses 'The Langkasuka Cookbook'

Ise’s work centres on his personal interactions with different communities. Each of his projects — which include installations, publications, animations, collages, participatory events, and the artist space Parking Project (which he runs out of his apartment) — celebrate dialogue and diversity. Informed by comics, films and graffiti, his irreverent ‘superfictions’ document local histories that often run counter to official narratives. For APT7, Ise presents a cookbook inspired by time spent with a number of families in his home state of Kelantan, renowned for its unique cuisine, which is strongly influenced by neighbouring Thailand. Sharing recipes and stories from private homes, Ise’s book provides a revealing and delicious window into different lives, tapping into broader social, cultural and economic questions through the universal, yet highly specific, process of buying, cooking and eating food.

The Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT) is QAGOMA's flagship international contemporary art event, and the only major exhibition series in the world to focus exclusively on the contemporary art of Asia, the Pacific and Australia.

APT7 continues the series' forward-thinking approach to questions of geography, history and culture and how these questions are explored through the work of contemporary artists. APT7 also marks the twentieth anniversary of the APT, presenting an opportunity to reflect on the unprecedented transformations that have occurred in Australia, Asia and the Pacific.

Remembering Mothers: Family Photography and Cultural Memory - Meredith Nash - FCWSRC [4/3/14]

In spite of a proliferation of images, the meaning and function of family photography is still remarkably undertheorised and even more under-researched in the social sciences. This presentation draws on empirical data from Tasmania, Australia to explore how family photographs of pregnancy reflect wider socio-cultural values about pregnancy, motherhood, and reproduction. Nash also discusses how digital technology has altered the ways in which pregnant bodies are represented and remembered in family photographs.

APT6 / Jiten Thukral & Sumir Tagra discuss 'Escape! For a dream land'

The Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT) is QAGOMA's flagship international contemporary art event, and the only major exhibition series in the world to focus exclusively on the contemporary art of Asia, the Pacific and Australia.

APT6 included the work of more than 100 artists from 25 countries, including collaborations and collectives, which reflect the diversity of practices across Asia, the Pacific and Australia. APT6 has a number of specific focuses and thematic links while considering recent shifts in contemporary art in communities that have not been represented in the APT before, including works by artists from Tibet, North Korea (DPRK), Turkey and Iran, and from countries of the Mekong region such as Cambodia and Myanmar (Burma). APT6 acknowledged the innovation that exists in performance and music in Asia and the Pacific with the Pacific Reggae Project looking at the development of the musical genre in Hawai'i, the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, Vanuatu and New Zealand.

APT3 / Lee Mingwei: Writing the unspoken

Inspired by Buddhist ritual and language, Lee Mingwei’s Writing the unspoken is reliant upon the personal involvement of his audience. The artist says: ‘How often, when we encounter another person, do we leave things unsaid, often the most important things, the things we will carry inside for years afterward, things which are insistent and haunting, yet which remain unexpressed until the ears they seek are beyond reach? ... My goal is to give visitors a deep and unexpected experience of certain inner experiences which they share with others, of feelings which are deeply and commonly human. The outer form of those experiences is only a device, albeit a beautiful one, for making this possible. It requires no faith, only the willingness to read, to write, to participate in an unnamed ritual of release.’

Artist statement
My artistic language is primarily that of awareness, internal experience, and interaction. It is intended to raise questions about what art is and can be, about how it enters our immediate experience and how it transforms our perception of past and future experiences. It is about bringing greater awareness to ordinary things, transforming our perceptions of them, our way of thinking and feeling about them, and our actions in relation to them.

These issues appear in my work not only in a focus on nurturing interactions, but also in a focus on process as opposed to result, and on the changing world of feelings and ideas as opposed to that of the more permanent world of objects. My works are more temporal than spatial, like music and dance, but they are primarily interpersonal, relying more on the movements of mind and heart than on those of the body or instruments. My spaces are temporary and minimal and intended to facilitate the subtle influences of interpersonal encounter on one's inner world.

How often, when we encounter another person, do we leave things unsaid, often the most important things, the things we will carry inside for years afterward, things which are insistent and haunting, yet which remain unexpressed until the ears they seek are beyond reach? The Letter Writing Project provides space and opportunity for participants to express these verbal ghosts. The three booths in the Letter Writing Project invite visitors to reflect and write on three different things -- gratitude, insight, and forgiveness.
Within each booth is a writing surface and materials. Visitors will be invited to sit, stand, or kneel at the table and write what is appropriate there. They may then seal it into an addressed or unaddressed envelope, or choose not to seal the envelope so that other participants may read their words. Those letters which are left open will not only provide inspiration and example to other visitors, but will also make clear how common our feelings of gratitude, insight, regret, and forgiveness are.
I realize that, to Western audiences, the outer form of this project may seem rather alien and Zen-ish, but Buddhism, especially in its Chan and Zen forms, is more a way of living than a religion in the Western sense. My goal is to give visitors a deep and unexpected experience of certain inner experiences which they share with others, of feelings which are deeply and commonly human. The outer form of those experiences is only a device, albeit a beautiful one, for making this possible. It requires no faith, only the willingness to read, to write, to participate in an unnamed ritual of release. [Lee Mingwei 1999]

Roslisham Ismail (Ise) and Josh Lopez (QAGOMA Executive Chef)

Evictions. Richard Lowenstein. 1979. Documentary.

Format: 16mm / Sound: Mono / Aspect Ratio: 4:3

Based on actual events, this short documentary portrays the harsh realities of Melbourne in the early 1930's depression, when evictions were commonplace, and enforced by the police. It focuses on one young unemployed family and the actions of the unemployed workers movement. It incorporates interviews with Tom Hills (ex-Wharfie) and Noel Counihan (artist), whose social realist paintings of the era are also used in the film.

‘Evictions’ won best short film at the 1980 Melbourne International Film Festival. Alumnus, Richard Lowenstein, is best known as the director of ‘Dogs in Space’ (1986) starring Michael Hutchence from INXS, and the 2001 film ‘He Died with a Falafel in his Hand’, an adaptation of John Birmingham’s memoirs starring Noah Taylor. Lowenstein also directed many music videos for INXS and U2.

One of the reasons this film was chosen to be among the first 50 graduate films to be digitised as part of the VCA film school’s 50th birthday celebrations is because - very unusually - received 100% as its graduating assessment mark.

‘Evictions’ is stylistically reminiscent of Peter Watkins’ 1965 film, ‘The War Game’, using similarly dramatic scenarios, cinematography and sound design to create depression era Melbourne, personalising a broad social issue through its impact on a single family.

Richard Lowenstein’s film is based upon his mother, Wendy Lowenstein’s book, ‘Weevil’s in the Flour’ (1978). Wendy Lowenstein was an activist and oral historian who collected over 700 hours of recorded interviews. Interviews by Wendy Lowenstein with Tom Hills (ex-Wharfie) and Noel Counihan (artist) are included in the film.

Other notable alumni who worked on this film include cinematography by Andrew de Groot, Natalie Green & John Elliot. Wardrobe by Lucy McLaren.
