Herstory-A Walk In Her Shoes

North Burnett Region North Burnett, Queensland, Australia

Welcome to my Writing Project- Herstory- A Walk in Her Shoes. Over the next six months I will be honoured to document stories from Older/Elder Women in the North Burnett. The women's personal stories will be written from the heart and will paint a picture of what each woman's life was like, here….in a bygone era. This project will culminate in a Published Book, a celebration of the strong and beautiful women who came to live in this scenic part of Queensland, Australia. The book will be launched in each of the town libraries in the North Burnett region. During this project, I pay my deep respect to the Traditional Owners of these lands of the North Burnett, where this project will be conducted and I respectfully acknowledge the “Elders- Past, Present and Future.” I also acknowledge with gratitude that the Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and North Burnett Regional Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland. If you or a woman you know or are related to, would like to sit and have a cuppa with me and share their story, I would love to meet you. PLEASE contact me, […]

Living History Cartoon Room @ Gayndah Arts & Cultural Centre

Gayndah Art Gallery 34 Meson Street, Gayndah, Queensland

The idea for the Living History Cartoon Room was sparked after seeing photos of Brisbane Museum’s Storytellers exhibition which showcases the ‘dark past’ of the capital city (crimes etc) in black and white line drawings within a 3D display. Rachel Koster of Xcursion Arts decided that a scaled down  version of this concept  would be a fantastic way to bring the community together in an artistic collaboration to present quirky bite sized pieces of Gayndah’s history in a fun, interactive and engaging way. With financial assistance from RADF funding, the project was pieced together from January to July 2021, working with year 4/5 from the State School, local museum staff and community members. Grade 6 of St Joseph's also were involved creating a youthful view of Gayndah now and into the future with 12 paintings which sit alongside the room.  School holiday workshops allowed children of all ages to decorate small trinket frames to hold photos from the past.  The entire room was hand drawn onto foamcore sheeting and photo card as well as upcycled furniture.  The line work was completed by Rachel with contributions from those listed on the back of the forth wall. Local historian Cynthia Berthelsen was […]
