Museums and Australia's Greek Textile Heritage Museums and Australia’s Greek textile heritage: the desirability and ability of State museums to be inclusive of diverse cultures through the reconciliation of public cultural policies with private and community concerns. Ann Coward Bachelor of General Studies (BGenStud) Master of Letters, Visual Arts & Design (MLitt) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Art History and Theory College of Fine Arts University of New South Wales December, 2006 ORIGINALITY STATEMENT ‘I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and to the best of my knowledge it contains no materials previously published or written by another person, or substantial proportions of material which have been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at UNSW or any other educational institution, except where due acknowledgement is made in the thesis. Any contribution made to the research by others, with whom I have worked at UNSW or elsewhere, is explicitly acknowledged in the thesis. I also declare that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work, except to the extent that assistance from others in the project’s design and conception or in style, presentation and linguistic expression is acknowledged.’ Signed .................................................................. ABSTRACT This thesis explores the desirability of Australia’s State museums to be inclusive of diverse cultures. In keeping with a cultural studies approach, and a commitment to social action, emphasis is placed upon enhancing the ability of State museums to fulfil obligations and expectations imposed upon them as modern collecting institutions in a culturally diverse nation. By relating the desirability and ability of State museums to attaining social justice in a multicultural Australia through broadening the concept of Australia’s heritage, the thesis is firmly situated within post-colonial discourse. The thesis analyses State multicultural, heritage, and museum legislation, in New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland, with regard to State museums as agents of cultural policy. Results from a survey, Greeks and Museums, conducted amongst Australia’s Greeks in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, reveal an anomaly between their museum-going habits and the perception of those habits as expressed by government policies promoting the inclusion of Australians of a non-English speaking background in the nation’s cultural programmes. In exploring the issue of inclusiveness, the thesis highlights the need for cultural institutions to shift the emphasis away from audience development, towards greater audience participation. The thesis outlines an initiative-derived Queensland Model for establishing an inclusive relationship between museums and communities, resulting in permanent, affordable, and authoritative collections, while simultaneously improving the museums’ international reputation and networking capabilities. By using the example of one of the nation’s non-indigenous communities, and drawing upon material obtained through the survey, and a catalogue containing photographs and lists of Greek textile collections found in the Powerhouse Museum (MAAS), Sydney, the National Gallery of Victoria and the Immigration Museum, Melbourne, the Queensland Art Gallery and the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, as well as collections owned by private individuals, the thesis focuses on the role played by museums in constructing social cohesion and inclusiveness. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr Arianne Rourke, for encouragement, support, advice and enthusiasm over the years. I wish also to thank Associate Professor Joanna Mendelssohn for her guidance, and UTS Pro-Vice-Chancellor Sue Rowley (formerly Head of School, Art History and Theory, College of Fine Arts UNSW) who, as my initial supervisor, encouraged my interest in Australia’s Greek community, particularly with regards to the textiles made by the women. I would like to especially thank Maria Zueva of the UNSW Independent Learning Centre. A document of this length can become unwielding, and Maria’s ability to grasp the central argument of my thesis proved crucial in determining its final form. Gratitude is expressed for the encouragement given by Father Miltiades Chryssavgis in the establishing of an occasional Textile Study Group in the year 2000 which met on Sundays after Divine Liturgy at the Greek Orthodox Church of St George, Rose Bay, Sydney. An informal arrangement whereby one or two people brought along items from their collections of embroideries, weavings and so on, it attracted not only the parish women but also some of the men who associated needlework skills with childhood memories of mother, aunts and grandmothers. For all of those who took part in the meetings, I convey my gratitude and particularly wish to acknowledge Mrs Soula Harris whose extensive textile collection served as an inspiration. Soula’s collection includes items made by her late aunt, Athanasia Asimacopoulo, a professional embroideress in Greece. I also wish to thank the following people (and apologise sincerely to those whose names may have been omitted): For the Catalogue Professor Manuel Aroney (for encouragement and guidance) the late Maria Confos Sia Morris Fani Antoniou Efstratia Koresis Ann Kyranis Julie Nichles Aspasia ‘Souki/Sia’ Patty Marianthi Syrmis Marina Euthimeou Father Chris Dimolianis for hospitality, and for giving me access to private textile collections ii Christina Sumner (Acting Senior Curator, International Decorative Arts and Design, Powerhouse Museum) Lindie Ward (Curator, Powerhouse Museum) Susan Dimasi (NGV) Philip Jago (Publications Manager, NGV) Karen Meehan (Public Relations Officer, Immigration Museum) Moya McFadzean (Curator, Australian Society, Museum Victoria) Judith Wassell (Senior Curator, Cultures and History (QM) Glenn Cooke (Curator, Queensland Heritage, QAG) Peter Volk (Assistant Collections Manager, Social History, QM) Amanda Gardner (Librarian, QAG Reseach Library) Kathy Buckley (Librarian, QM) for providing data, access to data and to textile collections For the Survey Dimitri Kepreotes for advice about distributing the survey The Greek Orthodox parish priests in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and the women of their parishes, for distributing the survey questionnaire.

  • Vietnamese Family Reunion in Australia 1983 – 2007 Bianca Lowe
    Vietnamese Family Reunion in Australia 1983 – 2007 Bianca Lowe Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2016 Graduate School of Historical and Philosophical Studies The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT This thesis explores the reunification of Vietnamese families in Australia through the family reunion program from 1983 to 2007. Focusing upon these key years in the program, and building upon substantial existing research into the settlement of Vietnamese refugees in Australia, this dissertation adds to the knowledge of Vietnamese-Australian migration by focusing on the hitherto neglected story of family reunion. It offers an account of the process and circumstances by which Vietnamese families attempted to reunite and establish new lives in Australia, following the Vietnam War. Drawing upon analysis of political debate and interviews with Vietnamese families, this thesis provides an overview of years that challenged traditional narratives of national identity and of the composition and character of the ‘family of the nation’. During this period, the Australian Government facilitated the entry of large numbers of Asian migrants, which represented a fundamental shift in the composition of the national community. Analysis of political commentary on Vietnamese family reunion reveals tensions between the desire to retain traditional conceptions of Australian national identity and the drive to present Australia as an adaptable and modern country. The early chapters of this thesis examine political debate in the Australian Parliament about the family reunion program. They note differing emphases across the Hawke-Keating Labor Government (1983-1996) and Howard Liberal-National Coalition Government (1996-2007), but also similarities that underline the growing adherence to economic rationalism and the effect this had on the broad design of the program.

  • Hellenes in Western Australia: a Century of Changing Relations, Responses and Contribution
    Title: Hellenes in Western Australia: A century of changing relations, responses and contribution. Presenter: Dr John Yiannakis Organisation: University of Western Australia Australia was a society that dreaded the “mixing of races” and was obsessed with protecting racial purity. Such sentiments were well expressed by Western Australia’s Premier John Forrest who, in 1897, concluded debate about his state’s Immigration Restriction Bill by saying “we desire to restrict this country, so that it shall not be over-run with races whose sympathies, and manners and customs, are not as ours.”1 Forrest, like other colonial leaders forging the new Commonwealth of Australia, wanted the nation, and his state, to remain British, Protestant and white; a desire enshrined in the legislation that became known as the White Australia Policy. While this policy was aimed primarily at prohibiting the entry of Asians and non-Europeans to Australia, it also made it difficult for non-British Europeans to enter. For early 20th century Australia an “olive peril” was almost as threatening as the yellow one. In the coming years, government policy towards Hellenic (Greek) arrivals would fluctuate. Restrictions and quotas would be imposed, only to be disregarded, and then observed stringently. The fear and contempt held by Anglo-Australians for most Greeks and other southern Europeans intensified as their numbers increased. Verbal and physical abuses were common forms of antagonism. Overseas and Australian born Greeks, pre and post 1945, had to endure a seemingly endless list of derogatory names. Anti-foreign sentiment was prevalent throughout society. Even the local schoolyard could be a place perpetuating bigotry and division.

  • 7- Chapter 1: Migration of Greeks to Australia: an Historical Overview
    -7- CHAPTER 1: MIGRATION OF GREEKS TO AUSTRALIA: AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW Poised on the edge of two worlds, the migrant continues to search for a sense of belonging Liz Thompson. The thrust of the thesis will be the study of the life of Greek migrants who came to Australia with professional qualifications. Being migrants themselves, they were subjected to the same sociopolitical and cultural situations which pre y filed in Australia at the time of their migration, in a way similar to the majority of ordinary migrants. The expectations of professional migrants in AL stralia were different to those of non-professional Greek migrants and although they were both foreigners in a foreign environment, each of the two groups reacted differently to the social pressures, as will be seen from the information collected in the interviews and published literature. With the exception of some statistical data and information on qualifications published by the Government', there is hardly any other documented information available on professional Greek migrants in Australia. As a consequence, this chapter will attempt to provide an overview of those areas which correspond to the situations faced by Greek professional migrants in Australia. Australia has historically been a nation of migrants who., as a whole, speak more than 100 languages and dialects with people coming from many countries of the world. The Australian culture which originally developed on the attitudes of the then British dominated population, was far different from the cultural diversity of the Australian society as it has developed since the Second World War'. These changes have been the result of a huge migration program and the role played by the multicultural policies of successive Australian governments, which have modified social attitudes during the past two decades.
