SUMMARY:Nightingales And Roses: The Art of Iran
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will focus on the cultural legacies of the Safavid and Qajar dynasties and discuss the extent to which they have informed contemporary art in Iran and the Persian diaspora. Using remarkable case studies\, we will review how Iranian art has made distinctive contributions to global art histories\, including architecture\, textiles\, painting\, photography and literature. We will also discuss the “Women\, Life\, Freedom!” movement as a social phenomenon through creative arts. The art of Iran is complex\, vast and diverse\, so this is designed to provide a compelling introduction for a lifetime of exploration. \nDates and Locations \nThursday 18 June 2026 Molonglo Plains (ACT) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Renaissance Rivals: How Competition Between Leonardo\, Michelangelo and Raphael Provided the Fuel that Drove the Italian Renaissance. Special Interest Event
DESCRIPTION:This special interest event will look at three giants of the Italian Renaissance who were involved in fierce competition with each other: Leonardo\, the master\, Michelangelo\, the brooding upstart genius\, and Raphael\, the artist who carefully crafted a stellar career in the shadows\, to emerge as a bright light that was tragically extinguished by an early death just as he began to be recognised in his own right. \n‘Everything that Raphael had\, he took from me’\, is what Michelangelo remarked as Pope Julius II pitted them against each other in the Vatican. \nDates and Locations \nThursday 2 July 2026 Chatswood (NSW) \nWednesday 15 July 2026 Canberra (ACT) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Florence and the Birth of the Italian Renaissance
DESCRIPTION:We are all so familiar with the ideas and culture of the Italian Renaissance\, a phenomenon that emerged in the 15th century. But why did Florence act as the midwife for this evolution? What did the city provide that enabled this birth and encouraged it to flourish? Is it something that was so efficiently reported and propagandised by people such as Giorgio Vasari\, the 16th century artist and art historian\, that we accept that Florence was indeed where the Italian Renaissance emerged? \nDates and Locations \nThursday 9 July 2026 Melbourne (VIC) \nTuesday 14 July 2026 Canberra (ACT) \nWednesday 22 July 2026 Adelaide (SA) \nMonday 27 July 2026 Margaret River (WA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Renaissance Rivals: How Competition Between Leonardo\, Michelangelo and Raphael Provided the Fuel that Drove the Italian Renaissance. Special Interest Event
DESCRIPTION:This special interest event will look at three giants of the Italian Renaissance who were involved in fierce competition with each other: Leonardo\, the master\, Michelangelo\, the brooding upstart genius\, and Raphael\, the artist who carefully crafted a stellar career in the shadows\, to emerge as a bright light that was tragically extinguished by an early death just as he began to be recognised in his own right. \n‘Everything that Raphael had\, he took from me’\, is what Michelangelo remarked as Pope Julius II pitted them against each other in the Vatican. \nDates and Locations \nThursday 2 July 2026 Chatswood (NSW) \nWednesday 15 July 2026 Canberra (ACT) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Fashion\, Feathers and Feminism: Women’s Fight for Change
DESCRIPTION:When social historian Tessa Boase told the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds she wanted to write their early story\, they refused to let her visit their archives. To a former investigative journalist\, this was a challenge she could not resist. This lecture shines a light on the intriguing story of women’s love affair with plumage – and of the brave eco feminists who fought back on behalf of the birds. Moving from a polite Victorian tea party to an egret hunt in a Florida swamp; from a suffragette ‘monster rally’ to a milliner’s dusty workshop\, you will be taken back in time to a world where every woman\, of every class wore a hat. Shocking and surprising\, entertaining and moving\, this pacy lecture remains Tessa’s most popular. \nDates and Locations \nSunday 9 August 2026 Cairns (QLD) \nThursday 13 August 2026 Melbourne (VIC) \nMonday 17 August 2026 Murray River (NSW /VIC) \nTuesday 18 August 2026 Canberra (ACT) \nSaturday 29 August 2026 Perth (WA) \nMonday 31 August 2026 Margaret River (WA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.
