SUMMARY:Australian chocolate and confectionery manufacturing companies - the forgotten ones
DESCRIPTION:Much has been written and discussed about the wonderful confectionery products (and to a lesser extent\, chocolate lines) that our industry developed commencing in the 1850s. \nBut what about those names lost in time that deserve recognition for the years of innovation that produced quality and often quirky products. \nThis one-hour talk looks at some of these local names\, such as Craig and Hales\, Lagoon\, Besters\, Griffiths\, James\, Simpsons\, Giant brand licorice\, and Molly Bushell barley sugar.

SUMMARY:Rehearsing the City: Photography exhibition
DESCRIPTION:On display are photographs sourced from the collections of Victoria’s State and National Archives\, as well as work by contemporary photographers responding to Victoria’s urban environment: Ai Tam Do\, Adrian Leung\, Suzanne Phoenix\, Ted Richards\, Sande Harsa\, Mark Forbes\, Melanie Cobham\, Michael Currie\, Andrew Tan\, Hashem McAdam\, Chris Bekos and Deb Stembridge. \nBoth the archival and contemporary images examine how public space is not just shaped by architects and urban planners\, but also by protest\, improvisation and the rhythms of daily life. Communities and individuals constantly use the built environment in creative or unexpected ways\, reinterpreting or subverting its intended design. These acts of resistance show that urban environments are not static – they grow and adapt with their inhabitants. Design can guide\, but it is the everyday actions of people that give public space its meaning and its future. \nThe exhibition is open throughout October\, 10 am–4:30 pm weekdays\, and 10 am–4 pm every second and last Saturday of the month.

SUMMARY:Rehearsing the City: Photography exhibition
DESCRIPTION:On display are photographs sourced from the collections of Victoria’s State and National Archives\, as well as work by contemporary photographers responding to Victoria’s urban environment: Ai Tam Do\, Adrian Leung\, Suzanne Phoenix\, Ted Richards\, Sande Harsa\, Mark Forbes\, Melanie Cobham\, Michael Currie\, Andrew Tan\, Hashem McAdam\, Chris Bekos and Deb Stembridge. \nBoth the archival and contemporary images examine how public space is not just shaped by architects and urban planners\, but also by protest\, improvisation and the rhythms of daily life. Communities and individuals constantly use the built environment in creative or unexpected ways\, reinterpreting or subverting its intended design. These acts of resistance show that urban environments are not static – they grow and adapt with their inhabitants. Design can guide\, but it is the everyday actions of people that give public space its meaning and its future. \nThe exhibition is open throughout October\, 10 am–4:30 pm weekdays\, and 10 am–4 pm every second and last Saturday of the month.

SUMMARY:170 Years of State Library Victoria: Full-day Symposium
DESCRIPTION:170 years ago\, on 11 February 1856\, State Library Victoria opened its doors to the public\, designed to lead a new cultural era. With Sir Redmond Barry as President of the Trustees and Augustus Tulk as Chief Librarian\, the Library grew its selection of books from around the globe aspiring to replicate the great libraries of Europe. Open to all\, it was conceived as an emporium of knowledge for all\, regardless of class or status. \nOver the centuries the Library has evolved to be one of the most visited libraries in the world with a collection of more than 4.5 million items. It offers an extraordinary range of services for Victorians and other researchers around the globe. \nIn this Symposium you will hear experts talk about the Library’s history\, its architecture and collections. You will hear stories of the people who have contributed to creating an internationally recognised powerhouse of knowledge and engagement with the community. \nThroughout the day\, you’ll also hear from leading minds on the evolution of the State Library\, its vision and role from colony to an institution supporting research\, communities and digital futures. Learn about the design of the Library\, and some of the challenges in creating a world class institution and the treasures unearthed from the vaults. \nAuslan interpretation is available on request. \nLearn more at https://www.slv.vic.gov.au/whats-on/170-years-state-library-victoria-full-day-symposium
