The Protest Collection at Museums Victoria
Museum curators have been out and about documenting a number of significant political, Indigenous, environmental and feminist protest movements in recent years including Marriage Equality, Women’s March on Melbourne and School Climate Strike.
The material collected sits alongside material from seminal movements such as the fight for the 8 hour day, women’s right to vote and the 1967 referendum. What does this new material tell us about current protest culture?
Curators will share what they have been adding to your State Heritage Collection and then Kristy Dickinson from Haus of Dizzy, will lead a Q and A with the voices these collection are raising.
You need to buy a ticket via the link below.

Special, in-depth, curator-led tour of the Caroline Simpson Library & Research Collection (CSL&RC), the library of Sydney Living Museums.
Since the 1980s, the CSL&RC has quietly and diligently amassed a collection focusing on the post-1788 history of the home in Australia, a collection that covers a range of material culture formats. Architectural pattern books, furniture design books, manufacturers’ trade catalogues and sample books published in both Australia and overseas shine a light on our houses, interiors and gardens. Many of these publications are not held by any other Australian library.
Tour numbers are limited to 30. Book tickets by going to this link.
Where: The Mint, 10 Macquarie St, Sydney
