It’s a wrap!
We had an incredible time at AMaGA 2024, the national conference for Australian museum and gallery professionals.
With the Australian Museum, we won the Award for Community Connection for the exhibition of Her Name is Nanny Nellie. So proud to be amongst groundbreaking people working hard to change the way First Peoples are represented in our institutions. We’ll be planning a visit to Maitland Regional Art Gallery and others soon!
We held a screening and post discussion of Her Name is Nanny Nellie with Mariko Smith from the Australian Museum, which lead to some interesting talk about what’s next for Nanny Nellie.
And we got to hear from Professor Aunty Eleanor Bourke of Yoorook Justice, an intellectual powerhouse, raising awareness of Aboriginal history and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights to respect, identity, and self-determination.
Overall, an inspiring week spent in Ballarat.

You can(‘t) clear that? A deep dive into archive clearances.
Daniel was part of a panel at this year’s ADIC discussing archive clearances, copyright and fair dealing for nonfiction projects.
It was a comprehensive session, exploring the opportunities and pitfalls of working with archive material. Wonderful to sit alongside industry experts and in particular catch up with the host Catherine Dwyer again. Catherine was one of our researchers on Her Name is Nanny Nellie.
