Overview

In 2018, Bangerang artist Peta Clancy was awarded a Fostering Koorie Art and Culture Residency Program grant from the Koorie Heritage Trust, Melbourne, to research massacre sites on Dja Dja Wurrung Country in Central and Northern Victoria. Working closely with Traditional Owners, Clancy spent a year visiting and documenting an unmarked site submerged underwater, learning the land and it’s hidden stories to create the expansive and compelling photographic series Undercurrent.

Overview

  • Authors:Clare Needham

When the first Bendigo Easter Fair was held in 1871 there were many who believed it was a success because it was a novelty, and that in time, enthusiasm for its continuation would expire. These gloomy forebodings were clearly unfounded with 2020 boasting what would have been the 150th fair.
