Kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope is a free exhibition celebrating fifty women who were trailblazers of their time. These women all had an impact on Melbourne's history and broader society. They were all crucial in building the Royal Historical Society of Victoria from its beginning in 1909.
This is a biography imagined through the lens of a kaleidoscope. The viewer is offered fragments of the lives represented here. There is no linear narrative and each time the kaleidoscope turns, a different story emerges. There are repeating patterns but different emphases and new ways of seeing, new reflections, new refractions. No one story dominates and one story does not fit all.
Curated by Dr Cheryl Griffin.
