Offering an alternative narrative to the imminent arrival in Bendigo ‘The Royals’ is a moving and sensitive display titled Body Politics. Curated with works from our collection the display traverses the themes of multiculturalism, post-colonialism, feminism and nationism with the body as the central tool or focus for this debate.

Alice Adams has a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Honours and a Graduate Diploma of Teaching, plus a range of teaching experiences and a keen interest in painting and printmaking.

The culture of terror introduced by gothic art and literature was often dramatised by encounters with symbolic animals or beasts which threatened the order of the British Empire. Amorphous creatures such as werewolves and vampires served to heighten feelings of the Uncanny. In 1897 Bram Stoker’s Dracula hailed the appearance of the vampire in Britain – a creature that respectable members of late-Victorian society would have considered as morally corrupting, criminal and perverse.
