SUMMARY:Opium: Seduction\, Greed\, Art
DESCRIPTION:The source of the stuff of dreams\, the poppy is a beautiful\, fragile flower with immense power. Opium (from the Greek ‘opion’ – poppy juice) is a hypnotic bringer of sleep\, delightful lethargy and relief from pain. It is also highly addictive. Greed led to the introduction of this hugely desirable substance first to China\, and then to\nEurope. The beguiling seduction of its effects led to its use to quieten troubled minds and calm agitated children and babies. Its use – often by those with troubled minds – led to the creation of great works of art in music\, art and literature. Social and art history meet as this lecture unfolds \nDates and Locations \nThursday 8 October 2026 Yarra (VIC) \nSaturday 17 October 2026 Gold Coast (QLD) \nMonday 19 October 2026 Northern Rivers (NSW) \nWednesday 21 October 2026 Brisbane (QLD) \nThursday 22 October 2026 Brisbane (QLD) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:The Japanese Garden In The West: 100 years of Eastern Influence
DESCRIPTION:The serenity\, asymmetry and control of a Japanese garden is a seductive contrast to Western symmetry\, form and free growth. Even at the time of Japan’s self-imposed isolation\, 1639-1854\, information reached the West about trees\, plants\, flowers and designs through illustrations on imported porcelain\, lacquer and screens. Once Japan opened up\, travellers and plant-hunters were able to bring back information about the gardens\, and the plants themselves. Japanese garden styles became highly fashionable into the 20th century\, with several still identifiable. Tracing the origins of garden styles\, the plants used and the surviving Western examples we can ask; is it possible to create a ‘Japanese’ garden outside Japan\, or do we merely give it a Japanese voice? \nDates and Locations \nFriday 9 October 2026 Mornington Peninsula (VIC) \n​Sunday 25 October 2026 Sunshine Coast (QLD) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.
