Dirt Poor ~ Spirit Rich DIRT POOR ~ SPIRIT RICH VOLUME II ~ DESCENDANTS OF THE FAMILY CARRUCAN Edited by James David Martin Commemorating the Sesquicentenary of the Dispersion of the Carrucan Family from West Clare, Ireland Second Prrinting Copyright © February 2004 The Carrucan Family History Fellowship 10/8 Weir St, Balwyn, Victoria, Australia.

Typeset in A Garamond and ITC Officina Sans Book. Preface By the mid 19 th Century, unable to sustain their large families during the potato famine and after years of impost by government and landlords, many Irish turned to the distant shores of Australia, the Americas, England and New Zealand, looking for a fuller life. The anniversary of the first migration of members of the Carrucan families of Fanore and Fisherstreet [Doolin], provides an occasion to honour those forebears who faced critical decisions concerning a family's survival. Bridget Carrucan was first of this family to leave the home village of Fanore, County Clare, in November 1853 Soon after her marriage in Australia, her brothers Patrick and Peter joined her and were followed by their mother after their father's death in 1862. In the 1880's, two of their great-nieces chose to migrate to the USA while a cousin, also named Bridget 1 went to South Australia. From these small beginnings a family numbering more than five thousand members has burgeoned. A tribute to the Carrucan Clan records 2 '…there is a saying in the Irish language - still spoken in the land where your forebears were born - Mura gcuirfidh tú san earrach ní bhainfidh tú san fhómhar - which can be translated - if you do not sow in the Spring you will not reap in the Autumn.' It is those forbears whom we honour and dedicate this Book. This Commemoration , almost exactly one hundred and fifty years later, is marked by two volumes under the title Dirt Poor ~ Spirit Rich. The first volume, in preparation, is a family history including anecdotes and memoirs; this, the current volume is a Register, in Family Tree form , of descendants of a single couple 3. 1 The Index of the Griffith's Valuation of Ireland 1848-1864 ~ CD Rom 2 Declan M Kelly, Ambassador of Ireland, in Australia, 6 March 2004 3 This work embodies the labours of many, for which the family expresses thanks. Particular mention is made of the contributions of the late David Lodge, the late John (Jack) Martin, Mary Conheady, Maureen Kelly, Carmen Fitzgerald and Jim Martin.

  • In My Blood It Runs
    History. Learning. Love. Resistance. IN MY BLOOD IT RUNS Directed by Maya Newell In Collaboration with Dujuan Hoosan, Carol Turner, Megan Hoosan, James Mawson, Margaret Anderson LOGLINE When Dujuan cannot run nor fight alone, he faces the history that runs straight into him and realises that not only has he inherited the trauma and dispossession of his land, but also the resilience and resistance of many generations of his people which holds the key to his future. SYNOPSIS Ten-year-old Dujuan is a child-healer, a good hunter and speaks three languages. As he shares his wisdom of history and the complex world around him we see his spark and intelligence. Yet Dujuan is ‘failing’ in school and facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and the police. As he travels perilously close to incarceration, his family fight to give him a strong Arrernte education alongside his western education lest he becomes another statistic. We walk with him as he grapples with these pressures, shares his truths and somewhere in-between finds space to dream, imagine and hope for his future self. “When you go out bush every week, you learn how to control your anger, and you learn how to control your life” 2 “Aboriginals have still survived here.” LONG SYNOPSIS Ten-year-old Dujuan is a child-healer, a good hunter and speaks three languages. As he shares his wisdom of history and the complex world around him we see his spark and intelligence. Yet Dujuan is ‘failing’ in school and facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and the police.

    Alex Kelly Attention: Committee Secretary Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee [email protected] Regarding: a. the impact of the 2014 and 2015 Commonwealth Budget decisions on the Arts; b. the suitability and appropriateness of the establishment of a National Programme for Excellence in the Arts, to be administered by the Ministry for the Arts July 15th 2015 To Whom It May Concern: I am a practicing artist and arts worker who has lived in Central Australia for the past 12 years. I work as a documentary filmmaker and a producer of community arts and cultural development projects. I was the 2009 Australia for the Arts Kirk Robson Award winner and was granted a Churchill Fellowship to explore my practice internationally in 2012. Please find my full biography attached at the end of this submission. I am deeply concerned about the announcement that $104.8M will be removed over four years from the Australia Council's funding. I am alarmed to hear that these funds will instead be used to establish a new 'National Program for Excellence in the Arts'. From 2005-2010 I was Creative Producer of the Big hART’s Ngapartji Ngapartji project. This was a $2.8M project, a small portion of which was granted through the Community Partnerships division of the Australia Council for the Arts. Ngapartji Ngapartji was a project that punched well above its weight. In our six years of operation we worked with over 250 Pitjantjatjara young people, produced over 75 short films, an award winning feature documentary for ABCTV, two touring theatre productions – which were seen by over 29,000 people at 10 festivals around the country and in London and Rotterdam – as well as delivering a crime prevention project for the Attorney General’s department and playing a leading role in the development of the National Indigenous Languages Policy.

Nina Woodrow, Christina Spurgeon, Ellie Rennie, Helen Klaebe, Elizabeth Heck, Brad Haseman, John Hartley, Maura Edmond, Jean Burgess1 Introduction How is creative expression and communication extended among whole populations? What is the social and cultural value of this activity? What roles do formal agencies, community-based organisations and content producer networks play? Specifically, how do participatory media and arts projects and networks contribute to building this capacity in the contemporary communications environment? Community Uses of Co-creative Media (CCM) sought to better understand connections between community cultural development and media systems, and to explore their role in supporting Australian communities to engage in the creation of digital media. A core hypothesis of the research was that a range of sectors – community broadcasting, Indigenous broadcasting, community arts, 1 Authors’ names are listed in reverse alphabetical order.

Welcome! We are delighted to see you at the second mega edition of TranScreen; a filmfestival strongly connected to the Dutch and international trans/gender/queer community. Everybody is welcome to view cinematographic works from a transgender perspective. TranScreen is for ladies, gentlemen and... for those who see more than simply just two genders. This year our festival is spread across two cinemas: Cinema het Ketelhuis and Filmhuis Cavia. They have separate ticket systems, so make sure to order your tickets at the right location - it’s an adventure! In our quest to find a nice blend of trans* related films, we noticed a changing media landscape and a rise of professional ability among trans* filmmakers themselves. We found films from all over the world, even the Netherlands! Meandering through our 34 filmslots are thematic programs, such as: World Reports, Feeling Community, Mixed Abilities, STOP Pathologization!, To see & be seen and Unambiguously Intersex. Of course we are incredibly grateful to our festival partners (we are so poly!), sponsors, volunteers, Ketelhuis & Cavia, IHLIA, filmmakers, and our volunteers: each of you are invaluable to making this festival happen, big thanks to you all. Now, we invite you to come experience arthouse films, road movies, documentaries, blockbusters, experimental animation, porn... and more.

  • Transcript CRC5 Alex Kelly Aug2020
    Podcast Transcript Creative Responders: in Conversation with Alex Kelly August 2020 Scotia: Hi I’m Scotia Monkivitch, Welcome back for another episode of Creative Responders: In Conversation; our monthly interview series where we hear from people on the front lines of the arts and emergency management sector as they prepare, respond and recover from disaster. If this is your first time joining us, welcome…this interview series is just one part of our podcast offerings. We also have a documentary series that you can find in episodes one to four of the creative responders podcast feed where we unpack one case study in each episode - visiting impacted communities, speaking to people with lived experience of disasters and bringing in a range of perspectives on the power of the arts and creativity in disaster management. We are currently working on Season 2 of the documentary series and look forward to sharing that with you later in the year. But for now, these one on one interviews have been a way for us to spend time hearing from some of the key creative thinkers across both the arts and emergency sector and we hope you have been enjoying the conversations so far. Today’s guest is Alex Kelly. She is an organiser, artist and filmmaker committed to social and climate justice and her work takes on many forms in both the arts and activist space. Most recently, she has spearheaded a speculative futures practice in collaboration with David Pledger which took shape as a series of digital gatherings called Assembly for the Future.
