Corredi e Memorie - Gloryboxes and memories

What do you know of wedding traditions, the practice of preparing a glory box and the phenomenon of the Proxy Brides in the Italo-Australian context? Here's your chance to find out about the history and cultural conventions associated with these practices, all while being entertained by traditional Italian folk music exploring the same themes.

In a collaboration between The Italian Folk Ensemble and The Gloryboxes of Love Exhibition, we'll explore this aspect of our rich Italian culture. You'll also be able to see first-hand some examples of items which typically formed part of the bride's glorybox and the family stories behind them.
