Talk 1: A behind the scenes look at the “Albany Then & Now” exhibition

The “Albany Then & Now: Historical Panoramas of Menang Noongar Boodja” exhibition is currently running at the John Curtin Gallery until 23 August 2026. The exhibition features more than 30 historical panoramic views of Albany.  In this talk we will take the opportunity to explore these amazing views in stunning detail on the big wrap-around Cylinder projection screen at the Curtin University HIVE, exploring different locations, and travelling backwards and forwards in time. The talk will discuss the key elements of the exhibition and the work that has gone into its production. Attendees will be able to explore the “Albany Then & Now” exhibition before or after the talk.
