Wild Australia: Meston’s Wild Australia Show, 1892-1893
AU$20.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMichael Aird; Mandana Mapar; Paul Memmott
Brisbane: University of Queensland Anthropology Museum, 2015.“The ‘Wild Australia Show’ was conceived by Archibald Meston and was a travelling troupe of 27 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people conscripted from the Queensland frontier who performed in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne during 1892 and 1893 in preparation for departure on an international tour in the era of World Exhibitions. However the plans were curtailed by contractual disputes, scandals of financial incompetence and accusations of the capture of certain troupe members against their will in chains. The exhibition came out of a meticulous process of collection and research by Queensland Museum senior curators Michael Aird and Mandana Mapar, and University of Queensland academic, Professor Paul Memmott who place the previously unknown images in a visual and historic context. This exhibition catalogue uses the same title of Meston’s show of more than 120 years ago, Wild Australia, and gives human dignity to the names and faces of the people in the photographs, whose strength of spirit and determination are evident in the gazes of the portrait subjects.”

Kirrenderri: Heart of the Channel Country
AU$35.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMichael C. Westaway; Mandana Mapar; Tracey Hough; Shawnee Gorringe; Geoff Ginn
Brisbane: The University of Queensland Anthropology Museum, 2022.“The project was developed in partnership between the Anthropology Museum, Mithaka Aboriginal Corporation and researchers from The University of Queensland. This publication contains 14 essays by 22 contributors and explores the pre-colonial history of the Channel Country, to the early years of European settlement and through to the more recent history, now being shaped by the academic researchers that have come to study the distant past of the land and the people who have always been part of this story. But this is not just about the past – it continues into the present. Central to this story is the involvement of the Aboriginal people who have never ceased their connection to the Channel Country.” (publisher’s blurb)

Ey! Iran: Contemporary Iranian Photography
AU$15.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMandana Mapar; Htamid Severi
Gold Coast: Gold Coast City Art Gallery, 2006.“In Ey! Iran, social realities of hope, temptation, nostalgia and introspection are captured through the Persian lens. The exhibition depicts a culture surprisingly familiar to ours – narratives of family life, suburban sprawl and poignant observations on a country immersed in longstanding customs and traditions. The artists take on issues of identity, gender and social restrictions and by doing so capture a side of Iran which is often contrary to that presented by the Pentagon and the western media. Catalogue of exhibition held at the Gold Coast City Art Gallery in 2006. Artists include; Dadbeh Bassir, Shadi Ghadirian, Amirali Ghasemi, Mohammad Ghazali, Arash Hanaei, Ghazale Hedayat, Peyman Houshmandzadeh, Bahman Jalali, Hana Mirjanian, Reza Paydari, Leila Pazooki, Sadegh Tirafkan, Hamila Vakili, Hossein & Angela Valamanesh and Mohsen Yazdipour.”
