Ikebana is over 500 years old floral art originated in Japan. The word Ikebana means living flowers. In Ikebana all parts of plant materials are used such as branches, leaves, dried twigs and flowers. As opposed to conventional floral arrangement where flowers are put together closely without any gaps, in Ikebana flowers and branches create space. Harmony and balance in relation to the container and the environment where it is placed are the essential parts of Ikebana. No floral foam is used in Ikebana. Flowers and stems from ones own garden can be used. There is no particular need to use the most beautiful blossom or more attractive leaves and branches. Ikebana practitioner learns to appreciate the beauty within the nature without discrimination and have a conversation with the soul of the flowers. There are more than 200 schools of Ikebana. In this course we will follow the Ichiyo school curriculum. Ichiyo School of Ikebana was founded in 1937 by brother and sister, Meikof Kasuya and Ichiyo Kasuya. ($15 Material fee ONLY for 1st lesson (please bring cash), afterward students are to utilise natural outdoor landscape for materials, which supports more environmentally friendly art)

Returning Aboriginal Photographs (T9)

The colonial photographic archive was until the 1990s forgotten by Australian Aboriginal people who saw it as evidence for their dispossession and oppression. A radical shift since that time has seen new ideas about the archive emerge. Photography is now considered an important cultural heritage resource, used to re-connect families fragmented by assimilation, and to demonstrate the truth of Aboriginal histories. In this talk I examine the ways that Aboriginal families and communities are increasingly engaging with these photos for a range of purposes. I explore the uses of photography to assert Aboriginal rights in a society still riven by debates about identity, inequality and Indigenous wellbeing.
