Instincts, Traditions, Usages Art ExhibitionJuly 4 - 31 Wednesday to Sunday 11 - 5pmAddison Rd Gallery, 142 Addison Rd Marrickville An exhibition by Vivienne Dadour OPENING: Saturday July 10 6pm Hon. Linda Burney MLA Minister Community Services Vivienne Dadour's images represented in Instincts, Traditions, Usages are derived from photographic archives and historical records about her ancestor's social and political life in the late nineteenth century in the Redfern and Waterloo suburbs of Sydney, known as the 'Syrian Quarter'. This tract of land allowed them to belong somewhere, to connect with their past and gain support of a like-minded community as they strove to become a part of their new land, amidst the prevailing alienation. The fragile layering of Dadour's digitally manipulated photographs depicts fragments of her family's personal and community life. juxtaposed, at the base of these images is the racist wording of text extracted from the New South Wales Parliamentary Debates which preceded the establishment of the White Australia Policy of 1901. Vivienne Dadour's art and curatorial work, from 1997 to 2010 has, almost uniquely in Australia, sought answers to wars, like Sarajevo, defined by ethnic essentialism, cultural intolerance and the politics of identity.

Sidetrack TheatreJune 30 - 10th JulyUNDER MILK WOOD8pm Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri & Sat 2pm Sundays (02) 9550 3666 Bookings Bambina Borracha Productions presents Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas Created by Vanessa Hughes and Zoe Norton Lodge. In the tiny Welsh village of Llareggub everyone is brimming with a story and the walls trickle secrets to mingle with the sea air. It is glorious springtime and blind Captain Cat listens to the busy world from his cabin window. Mog Edwards and Myfanwy Price smuggle letters of forbidden love up and down the street as Polly Garter sings to her babies under the washing line. Under Milk Wood is Dylan Thomas’ great love letter to the Welsh countryside that he wrote and left behind in a pub. Bambina Borracha Productions ’ new tilt on the classic play for voices rebuilds the village in Sydney with the same curiosity and ratbag humour. It speaks to life in a small town, where faces are familiar for countless reasons. Isolation and gentle interest in other people ’s business creates an intricate community where everyone knows a little bit more than is good for them. Zoe Norton Lodge navigates all sixty four characters in a story her dad used to read to her at bedtime. With direction and media by Vanessa Hughes and design by Vanessa and Natalie Hughes, the performance combines multimedia and visual art to complement one of our mostcherished, loving stories. From where you are, you can hear their dreams… Preview June 30th 8pm $15 Opening Night July 1st 8pm Tickets: Full $30/ Under 30 $26/ Concession $23/ Access Card Holder $20 |
