SUMMARY:Sport Of The Gods: Olympia and the Ancient Olympics
DESCRIPTION:Every four years\, the advent of the newest iteration of the Olympic games brings scrutiny and reflection on their ancient forebears. The ancient Olympics lasted for over 1000 years and were both very similar and very different to the modern games. They were held as religious games in honour of the great god Zeus at his sanctuary at Olympia in the Greek Peloponnese. The art and architecture of this sanctuary was emblematic of the ancient Olympic spirit – and represents some of the finest sculpted art to survive from ancient Greece. In this talk\, we look at the artistic and literary evidence for the ancient games\, learning about triumphs and heartaches\, and stories of athletes\, both weird and wonderful! \nDates and Locations \nTuesday 4 August 2026 Launceston (TAS) \nSaturday 22 August 2026 Rockhampton (QLD) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Persepolis: Art\, Architecture and Ideology of the Persian Empire

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.

SUMMARY:Icons of Greek Art and Architecture
DESCRIPTION:This interest day gives participants the chance to engage deeply with the journey of Greek Art and Architecture throughout its extended historical period of the 7th to the 2nd centuries BC\ni. Dwellings for the Gods: the Art and Architecture of Ancient Greek Temples\nThis lecture examines the development of the ancient Greek temple from the 7th century BC\, with a focus on how it became the focal point for developments in Greek art and architecture over a number of centuries. How did the design emerge as it did? What is the significance of Doric\, Ionic\, and Corinthian columns? What can we learn from the sculpted art on them? How were these buildings actually used? We will look at the temple of Zeus at Olympia as a worked example\, and finish by examining the legacy of Greek temple design in neo-classical and modern architecture. \nii. The Parthenon: A Jewel for the Ages\nThe lecture focuses on the most iconic – and arguably unique – Greek temple of them all\, the Parthenon. No expense was spared as leading artists\, sculptors\, and architects worked on its construction\, at a time when Athens was undergoing an extraordinary cultural revolution: this was the age of Socrates\, Euripides\, Aristophanes\, Herodotus\, and Sophocles. The buildings on the Acropolis were constructed in a few short decades as a symbol and celebration of Athens’ democracy. The building programme\, promoted by the leading democratic politician Pericles\, was in fact highly controversial – and sharply divided Athenian democratic opinion in its own day. Why was this temple the greatest the ancient world ever knew? \niii. Two Hellenistic Cities: Alexandria and Pergamon\nThis lecture will look at the fascinating journey of Greek art and architecture in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC\, when the Hellenistic age emerged after the Classical age. In this period\, two cities emerged as centres of extraordinary culture and learning. In Egypt\, Alexander conceived a vision of a new city to take his name: Alexandria. It soon became the intellectual hub of the ancient world\, which saw extraordinary discoveries in science and mathematics\, philosophy\, and\nmedicine. Its library was the greatest of the ancient world; moreover\, its lighthouse was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Meanwhile\, in\nnorth-west Asia Minor\, the Attalid kingdom developed a new capital city\, Pergamon\, as a cultural centre to rival Alexandria. It too had a remarkable\nlibrary; today the archaeological site is on the UNESCO World Heritage List\, while the famed Pergamon Altar has been reconstructed in the Pergamon\nMuseum\, Berlin. This talk explains how these two cities changed the intellectual and artistic landscape and examines their legacy. \nDates and Locations \nThursday 13 August 2025 Brisbane (QLD)  \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Troy – City in Art and Myth
DESCRIPTION:The Trojan war is the central myth of the Greek tradition\, and the tale has influenced art and literature down the ages. When was the ancient city of Troy first identified by archaeologists and what do we know about it? Was there really a Trojan War fought over a kidnapped Greek queen? How has the city of Troy been depicted in art and literature ever since? Why does the city and its story continue to cast such a spell in every generation\, even so far as inspiring acclaimed theatrical performances by Syrian refugee women in our own times? \nDates and Locations \nSaturday 15 August 2026 Noosa (QLD) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

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.
