Exclusive Sneak Peek

"Luminaries: Re-imagining women in the Australian goldfields"

You are invited to join us for an exclusive sneak peek at Lauren Starr's - 

"Luminaries: Re-imagining women in the Australian goldfields" project.

A luminary is something that gives light, such as a celestial object. It also refers to a person who inspires, who lights the way. Women living in the Australian goldrush period were such beacons of light, however there is very little evidence of them having existed. From artworks to official accounts and historical tellings, they are lost amongst the dust and masculine world of the goldfields. Through Lauren's research, both into her own ancestors and historical documents, she has developed a connection with these pioneering females. It is her intention, that through the use of costume and photography she can re-imagine the Australian landscape of the 1850s and artistically represent the women that lived there.

Lauren has been brewing this concept for many years, and in 2023 she officially began production of this project.

This sneak peek event will showcase the first few pieces from this series, with the rest coming to fruition over the next couple of years.
