F17 Photography - August 2017 Page 1 {IPG} Shack Life The Survival Story of Three Royal National Park Communities Ingeborg van Teeseling, Cooper Brady, Dean Saffron Summary Shack Life tells the story of three small beachside communities in the Royal National Park south of Sydney – Era, Burning Palms and Little Garie – and how their residents fought to save their beloved shacks. During the Depression, starving miners and their families made their way ‘down the hill’ to a place by the sea where they could live on fish, rabbits and home-grown vegetables. Hundreds of shacks, only able to be reached on foot, sprung up, and are still standing today. Since the 1960s governments have tried to have the shacks pulled University of New South Wales Press down but the communities, with the help of their Protection League, fought back each time and won.

Much of the historic High Street, once said to be one of most attractive in the country, was destroyed during the Second World War and sadly few buildings survived. As elsewhere, the post-war architecture was abysmal and bland. Well into the mid-nineteenth century Portsmouth town was restrained within military fortifications, bastions, gates and arrowhead moats. By the early 1900s, however, Portsmouth had begun to extend from its original urban settlement guarding the Camber: the naval docks and Harbour mouth, north out across Portsea Island, with row upon row of terraced streets swallowing up the farmland Amberley Publishing and small villages of North End, Kingston, Copnor, Milton, Fratton, Eastney and Hilsea.

  • Some Thoughts on the Street Art Panorama: the Case of Madrid
    Essays / Working papers Some thoughts on the street art panorama: the case of Madrid Natalia Gutiérrez-Colomer Associate Professor, Department of Journalism and Global Communication, Faculty of Media & Communication Science, University Complutense of Madrid. Address: Avda. Complutense, s/n. 28040 – MADRID. Email: [email protected] Violeta Izquierdo Full Professor, Department of Journalism and Global Communication, Faculty of Media & Communication Science, University Complutense of Madrid. Address: Avda. Complutense, s/n. 28040 – MADRID. Email: [email protected] Abstract During the last four decades, street art has been developed and multiplied in most of the biggest European and American cities. In the case of Spain, the roots of this artistic phenomenon appeared during the restoration of democracy, so it is specially linked to the urban society created according to the arrival of freedom. In Madrid in particular, an increasing number of urban interventions have appeared in some neighborhoods such as Malasaña, Tetuán or Lavapiés, which means that the street art is the artistic refection of the new urban reality. In recent years, some initiatives, such as Pinta Malasaña or Muros Tabacalera, have used this phenomenon as a way to improve the area and, as a consequence, a new artistic expression has been developed: the new urban muralism. The identifcation of the artists working in a certain city will give us the idea of where the city can be located in the global panorama of street art and, moreover, this local study will enrich the knowledge of the whole phenomenon. This essay focuses on giving an overview of the street art in Madrid with the idea of providing new insights to increase the knowledge of the current global society.

Barbara Elaine Harrington PhD June 2016 1 ABSTRACT Walking, landscape and visual culture: how walkers engage with and conceive of the landscapes in which they walk. Walking in the countryside is an increasingly popular pursuit in Britain. Much previous research within the social sciences has tended to concentrate on the physiological benefits, barriers or facilitators to walking. This thesis explores particular walkers’ complex motivations for and modes of walking, their individual engagements with certain types of (northern) landscapes and the significance of specific kinds of visual images, traditions and wider practices of looking.

  • Barclays Center Honors Legacy of African-American Basketball in Brooklyn
    Barclays Center Honors Legacy of African-American Basketball in Brooklyn Pays Tribute to Historic “Black Fives” Teams with Large-Scale Photographs in Main Concourse, Community Event with Brooklyn Nets Player C.J. Watson, and Nets Half-Time Presentation BROOKLYN, February 4, 2013 – On February 10, Barclays Center will honor the legacy of Brooklyn’s African-American basketball history with the installation of six large-scale photographs of the Black Fives, early-twentieth century African-American basketball teams, throughout the arena’s main concourse. The images depict players from Brooklyn’s own Black Fives team, the Smart Set Athletic Club, established in 1906 as the first fully independent, formally organized African-American basketball team; their female counterparts, the Spartan Girls Athletic Club; and a related team from Manhattan, the New York Girls. The installation of the photographic images continues Barclays Center’s commitment to presenting arts and culture projects that celebrate Brooklyn’s diverse population and dynamic history by making the borough’s basketball legacy accessible to a contemporary audience. The Black Fives teams were an integral part of African-American basketball from 1904 to 1950, prior to the racial integration of the National Basketball League in the 1940s and the National Basketball Association in 1950. Like baseball’s Negro League, Black Fives teams represented most major American cities and were made up of exceptional athletes who helped to shape the modern game. Until recently, the story of the Black Fives has remained largely untold. To mark the unveiling of the images and honor the legacy of the Black Fives, Barclays Center hosted a community event today, during which Claude Johnson, founder and executive director of the Black Fives Foundation, shared insights on the historic teams with three generations of Brooklyn’s basketball players: descendants of Brooklyn’s Black Fives team, Brooklyn Nets player C.J.

  • Walking Through History
    PROGRAMME 2 THE CHANNEL ISLANDS: NAZI OCCUPATION Introduction We’re walking through two of the glorious Channel Islands and one of the darkest chapters in British history. This four-day walk explores Jersey and Guernsey’s unique wartime heritage as we delve into Germany’s occupation of the Channel Islands from 1940 to 1945. Jersey and Guernsey are blessed with beautiful beaches and tropical waters. At almost all of them are the remnants of a bunker or a machine gun post left over from the Second World War. Starting in Guernsey, we’ll trek the stunning south coast, taking us through the chaos and tragedy of summer 1940. From here we’ll skip over to Jersey to find out how this tiny corner of the British Isles survived five long years of Nazi rule. .Walking Through History Day 1. We’re starting inland at Guernsey airport, where the first German troops landed on British soil. From there, it’s a bracing ten mile walk along the stunning south coast, finishing in St Peter Port where a ferry will take us the 30 miles to Jersey. Guernsey Airport to St Peter Port, via Moulin Huet and Clarence Battery Distance: 12 miles, plus a one-hour ferry journey Day 2. We’re heading west to discover how the Germans turned Jersey’s exposed coastline into an impregnable fortress. This leg of our journey will take us east from St Aubin’s Bay to the heavily fortified headland at La Corbiere. We’ll then turn north for five miles along St Ouen’s beach, before ending our day at a clifftop stronghold in Les Landes – a further ten miles.
