PEACEWORK: ‘I am a woman for peace’

The exhibition Peacework: I am a woman for peace pulls the red thread of intersectional, inter-generational organising to pattern the charged public space of Sydney Trades Hall atrium with lessons for our politically polarised times. Peaceworks conjures two sets of work side-by-side for us to consider: campaign materials made through the Cold War by members of the Union of Australian Women and site-specific works by contemporary feminist artists.

Started this one on the iKaossilator app. Then bounced layers into Protools and added a bass sample I found stored on my computer. I then wanted some sort of vocal element and found a sample of someone saying 'A,E,I,O,U' on freesound.org, so I snagged that and chopped up/pitch shifted. Then added another layer of beats towards middle of track, and added final chime melody with MIDI. Whew! Was fun, peace!

Georg Rockall-Schmidt and Damian Benedict present The Boisterous Brothers podcast, a traditional comedic podcast inter-spliced with regular bits such a very concise synopsis of your very favourite episodes of Frasier (all of them), a summary of the news from Lieutenant-Colonel Bilgewater, and a reading of bewildering fan fiction. Also Leroy LaToc provides some smooth tunes. 

This time Damian talks about his close-call with the police, the boys talk about their experiences with landladies and cat-people, and it emerges that Damian's father is playing a higher level game with a dog and a chess board.

In the last 50 years museums have slowly changed from exhibitions ‘about’ Indigenous peoples to exhibitions by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander curators. 

As the University of Sydney embarks on the building of the new Chau Chak Wing Museum, we consider what are the next steps and continue to question how exhibitions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander collections can engage all visitors meaningfully.

Speakers:

Sharni Jones, Manager of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander collections at the Australian Museum

Stephen Gilchrist, Associate Lecturer Department of Art History, University of Sydney

Rodney Kelly, Gweagal activist for the repatriation of ancestral collections to Aboriginal ownership

Amanda Reynolds, Stella Stories artist, curator, cultural consultant and editor

Matt Poll, (panel chair) Assistant Curator, Indigenous Heritage, Macleay Museum, Sydney University Museums

A 2017 Reconciliation Week at the University of Sydney event, co-presented with the Macleay Museum. Held on 31 May 2017: http://sydney.edu.au/sydney_ideas/lectures/2017/reconciliation_week_arts_aboriginal_australia_forum.shtml
