Art educator Andrea Sturgeon has been providing weekly art classes via Zoom to 16 students, refugees from Syria and Iraq, at Mary Immaculate Primary School in Bossley Park. Year 6 student Maryana has described the classes as ‘relaxing’ and says they ‘make me feel calm’. The students enjoy practising their English while talking about colours, shapes, equipment and art techniques. The State Library is looking forward to welcoming the students and their parents to the library in 2021. With assistance from the State Library Foundation, the art program will be offered to other schools in NSW supporting refugee communities.

    Home As Archive - Event Transcript Event begins Title Slide: Pink background with white text that reads “Home as Archive: Presented in collaboration with Essex Book Festival & Metals Culture, Southend. EWF logo and festival dates are in the lower right corner” Video One: Katerina Bryant Welcome to Home as Archive. My name is Katerina and I will be a host and artist this evening. To begin, I would like to acknowledge the first nations and Traditional Owners of the land we are broadcasting from – I am currently on Kaurna land, where I live and write. I pay my respects to Elders past and present, and, as this is an online recording whose reach is far, to the Elders of the lands this recording might reach. For this event, we will be discussing home, spaces and histories. This is part of the wonderful EWF and is presented in collaboration with Essex Book Festival & Metal Culture, Southend. Tonight, we will be witnessing work by artists working between so-called Australia and Essex, England. They will be sharing artefacts from the archives of their personal histories. I anticipate there will be an intimacy tonight as we will be peering into these artists’ homes. Where we live and, who and what we share those spaces with, is intimate and vulnerable. In some ways the past year has allowed us to peer into each other’s homes over Zoom, but in others it has separated us from sharing space with people we cherish. I’d love to frame tonight as not only a look into these artist’s homes and lives but the creation of our own archive – capturing this moment through place and objects.

    Abstracts only Lost in Tasmania’s wilderness karst Arthur Clarke Email: [email protected] From 1962-1995, four young men have disappeared without a trace (never seen again) after traversing separate areas of Tasmania’s southern wilderness karst. During the latter part of this same period, a student teacher and two young high school pupils drowned in Mystery Creek Cave in the far south of Tasmania. To this day, the disappearance of the 15 year old Guy Bardenhagen near Mount Picton in late January 1962 remains a mystery. Bardenhagen was with two fellow YMCA members led by then YMCA Southern Secretary, on a bushwalk from the old Lake Pedder to Geeveston. On January 30 th 1962, the party of four made a detour to climb Mt. Picton, departing from their campsite at North Lake , south of Red Rag Scarp. After lagging behind the others, Bardenhagen failed to reach the summit, but did not return to the camp site. Given the proximity of the known karstified Pre-Cambrian dolomite and nearby pseudokarst, it is possible that Bardenhagen fell into a crevice or vertical opening following his separation from the other walkers. An intense weeklong search failed to locate any sign of Bardenhagen. In mid-October 1969, John Boyle, became lost when separated from three other cavers in the forested sub-alpine dolomite karst on the northeast ridge of Mount Anne, east of Lake Pedder . Reported in the media as a “lost Sydney caver”, the 26 year old Boyle was actually a member of the Tasmanian Caverneering Club (TCC) on a club trip lead by former flatmate Alan Keller.
