SUMMARY:I Got the Dust Bowl Blues: Texas and Oklahoma Photography\, Art and Music
DESCRIPTION:The Wall Street crash in 1929 led to a questioning of the success of the American dream. President Roosevelt stepped in with the WPA (Works Progress Administration) and the New Deal. The government initiative meant employment for over eight million largely unskilled Americans and importantly 5\,300 artists. Murals\, painting\, photography\, graphic design all flourished. In this lecture we will explore some of the key artists at this era. Jackson Pollock will be evaluated along with the social realism of Dorothea Lange and Ben Shahn. The soundtrack of the era is provided by Woody Guthrie and Jimmie Rogers.  \nDates and Locations \nWednesday 17 September 2025 Geelong (VIC) \nMonday 22 September 2025 Murray River (NSW / VIC) \nThursday 25 September 2025 Molonglo Plains (ACT / NSW) \nWednesday 1 October 2025 Adelaide (SA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Mystical Signs and Systems of the Ancient World
DESCRIPTION:Since the dawn of civilisation\, mankind has tried to understand and control the unseen powers of the sky\, the earth\, the seas and life itself. Ancient peoples left clues to their belief systems in all corners of the world in symbols\, inscriptions\, monuments and artefacts from the Aztec Calendar Stone and the Spear of Destiny to magic circles and Navaho sand paintings. I will examine in detail the mysteries of these ancient symbols of our ancestors and their desire to control the Universe. \nDate and Location \nMonday 20 October 2025 Murray River (NSW / VIC) \nClick on the location above for more details and to book tickets.
