In Living Memory exhibition
Still on display @ The Rocks
The In Living Memory exhibition of photographs from the Aborigines Welfare Board, currently on display at State Records Gallery in The Rocks, has been so popular that it has been extended twice and a special travelling version has embarked on a 17 venue tour of New South Wales until October 2010.
17 venue Tour of NSW
The In Living Memory NSW tour was officially launched in May at the Shoalhaven City Arts Centre in Nowra to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the nearby Bomaderry Children's Home.
The exhibition is now touring to Aboriginal cultural and community centres and regional art galleries, museums and libraries in towns and cities throughout New South Wales, including Moree, Walgett, Brewarrina, Quirindi, Armidale, Ballina, Kempsey, Newcastle, Moruya, Bega, Wagga Wagga, Cootamundra, Dubbo and Broken Hill, as well as venues in Penrith and Hurstville in Sydney.
Apology to the Stolen Generations
An audio slideshow of interviews and images from the In Living Memory exhibition produced by the Sydney Morning Herald for its website attracted 100 000 visits in the week of the official Apology to the Stolen Generations in February 2008.
