1968: Changing Times exhibition (544)
Curators Dr Guy Hansen, Dr Grace Blakeley-Carroll and Dr Walter Kudrycz will talk about the making of the National Library of Australia’s exhibition, 1968: Changing Times. The exhibition draws on the Library’s collection of manuscripts, books, music, and pictures to explore a range of events from 1968. The curatorial team had the opportunity to comb through the Library’s collections of material relating to this tumultuous year. The discussion will canvass what type of history is produced in an exhibition like this. The panellists will share some of their discoveries and explore the opportunities and challenges of producing a history exhibition based on a single year as a frame of reference. There will also be an opportunity to visit the National Library of Australia’s 1968: Changing Times.
