TRUTH: Then Now Everywhen
until 3 September 2022
These visual histories stand as documents that “re-write” and challenge the telling of history in ways that are poetic and generous. The work transcends stories of then and now, instead inhabiting the Everywhen: the ever-present that is constantly regenerating.
The exhibition is concurrently exhibited across both venues of the University Galleries, the University Gallery at Callaghan campus and Watt Space Gallery in Newcastle city.
TRUTH: Then Now Everywhen is curated by Deborah Sims and Matt Dickson from their collection.

Looking Through Windows
A multi-media Aboriginal history and art exhibition 25 March - 4 June ‘Looking Through Windows’ is an oral history, artistic and multimedia project exploring Aboriginal removal, dispossession and ‘protection’. It started with a yarn that was transformed into a poem and grew into a video documentary, a community exhibition with a one-act play, opera piece and travelling exhibition. Looking Through Windows: tablelands, the coast to outback is an oral history, artistic and multimedia project exploring the removal, dispossession and ‘protection’ of Aboriginal people in NSW and beyond. Purai Global Indigenous History Centre is proud to host this event with the University Gallery, University of Newcastle. Looking Through Windows has been created in partnership between Community and Taragara Aboriginal Corporation, the University of Newcastle, the University of New England. It is funded by the NSW Government through Create NSW Touring grant program and by the Australian Government through the Australian Research Council. image: Erin Brown On Country Gathering |
