25.01.2022 Spring is here and with it the onslaught of hayfever. If Nicholas Culpeper were still around, he’d suggest you look to the planets Mercury, Venus and the Moon for the various herbs they govern in an attempt to cure those watery eyes and itchy noses. In 2020 you might not have access to ragwort or flower-de-luce but fear not, Culpeper has something for what ails you. Although for more serious concerns we’d suggest sticking to your local chemist, Culpeper’s remedies were groundbreaking and led to the development of seventeenth-century herbalism.

22.01.2022 For our new exhibition ‘The Perfect Migrant’ five Master of Design students, specialising in multimedia and interaction, created conceptual designs as part of their final-year project. Due to the pandemic, the students weren't able to build and create the digital elements; instead, they created proof of concept work which Library staff used as inspiration to build digital elements of the exhibition with animation and sound bringing the art to life. Visitors can examine the w...ays incarceration and forced migration impacted the refugees and their families through: 1moving audio installations - hear poetry written by a Dunera internee 2creative projected animations - watch as the art comes to life before your eyes 3 thought-provoking film work - listen to the experience of Dunera and Queen Mary internees firsthand from those who lived through it, and those who knew them 4 the artwork of contemporary Australian refugees - see new and upcoming artists. The exhibition curator, Dr Anne Holloway, said In a time when Australia’s borders are shut and an increasing number of people are displaced around the world, it is important to engage with the humanity of refugees, past and present. Connecting an earlier generation of detainees to current refugees such as Farhad Bandesh and Miream Salameh, the exhibition explores the pain and isolation of detainment, loss of homelands and family. It also reminds us of the adaptive capacity of people to rebuild their lives and start new journeys when given a chance. The exhibition will run at The Gallery, Sir Louis Matheson Library, Clayton until Monday 18 October 2021. You can read more about the exhibition via the link in our bio.

06.01.2022 'The Perfect Migrant' draws its inspiration from the artworks of visual artist and sculptor Erwin Fabian (1915-2020), exploring his creative and emotional response to forced migration. The artworks reflect his personal experience as an enemy alien shipped to Australia on the HMT Dunera, his internment in Tatura, his life as a new migrant, and his responses to images of the men, women, and children incarcerated on Manus Island and Nauru. Woven around Fabian’s artwork are glimp...ses into the journeys of other Dunera internees, as well as the journeys of contemporary Australian refugee artists as they respond to their own experiences of forced migration. Opening 27th May 2021. For more information and opening hours, visit the link in our bio. #ThePerfectMigrant #monashuni
