Skin, the strange wonderfulness of our bodily covering. What happens to it when something goes wrong. How the world responds to imperfection and difference. It's about how skin makes us who we are. Join Phillipa McGuinness, as she discusses her new fascinating and well-researched book, Skin Deep: the inside story of our outer selves . In order to write her book, Phillipa spoke to plastic surgeons, dermatologists, public health experts, beauticians, people with melanoma, burn survivors, tattoo artists, victims of racism, and all kinds of people comfortable in their skin, and those who are not. Skin Deep explores beauty, ageing, imperfection, health and illness, all of which are closely related to skin, and interrogates whiteness, both historically, and structurally and through current notions of white fragility and victimhood.

Annarie is a multidisciplinary artist working in printmaking and ceramics. Her ceramic works are inspired by architectural and traditional shapes and forms reimagined into contemporary vessels. Annarie's works on paper are based on still lifes and inspired by objects 'full of memories'. For her creating a still life is about the history of the object, the people who may have handled and owned the object, as well as the shape of flowers or plants arranged in the vessel and the shadows they cast. Annarie's prints have been selected as finalist in several prizes including the Ravenswood Australian Woman Art Prize, Blacktown Art Prize, Hunters Hill Art Prize and winner of the Lane Cove Art award (Drawing, Pastels or Prints). Hildebrand is an active member of Open Bite Printmakers and regularly exhibit in group exhibitions. https://upnext.com.au/event/porcelain-and-prints-2022 Check out our website https://upnext.com.au/sydney Check out our Vimeo channel https://vimeo.com/up...

Join us for a special screening of this film documenting the history of Australia's sugar slaves as part of our Australian South Sea Islander National Recognition Day program . Australia's Blackbird trade is an untold story. Few people know that the Australian sugar industry was founded on the forced labour of Melanesian men, women and children kidnapped from the 80 islands of Vanuatu and Solomons. Sugar Slaves tells the history of Australian South Sea Islander families stories and reconnections with their Vanuatu homelands. Between 1863 and 1904 some 60,000 Pacific Islanders were transported to Queensland, where they slaved across sugar, maritime, fishing, pastoral and railway industries in establishing Australia's rich economy. Australian South Sea Islanders are descendants of the Pacific Islands Blackbird trade. Australian South Sea Islander National Recognition Day marks the date in 1994 when the Commonwealth Government officially recognised the Australian South Sea Is...
