Recently I saw Radical Textiles at the Art Gallery of South Australia - a beautiful collage of history, contemporary visual culture and local flavour! 😍

There have been many dedicated LGBTIQA+ museums opening around the world in recent years - I think this signals the complex context in which our communities exist in and highlights the role of museums to not only preserve but educate and advocate. blooloop.com/museum/news/...

Museum and gallery friends: we MUST keep encouraging one another to take every opportunity to interpret themes of HIV/AIDS and queer life for our visitors. #WorldAIDSDay

It was joy to share the stage with Nicole Sutherland and Matthew Cunneen who brought their own knowledge and important perspectives to bear on the topic. Thanks also to Virginia Rigney for her excellent chairing, and deep knowledge of Sidney Nolan.

Inspired by Sidney Nolan’s For the Term of His Natural Life series, the conversation explored convict history from the lens of display and interpretation, multiple narratives, national identity, and more.

Thanks Canberra Museum and Gallery for the invitation to think-out-loud about how museums (re)present convict histories.

And for something different I am on another panel discussion. But actually different this time, with a focus on convict histories in museums. www.cmag.com.au/events/panel...
