"The Djan'kawu sisters at Yalangbara — Material expressions of Ancestral agency."

The lecture will introduce people to Yalangbara, a sacred landscape on the coast of Eastern Arnhem Land in Northern Australia. Yalangbara was the destination of the Djan’kawu sisters, who gave birth to the clans of the region. In theoretical terms the lecture considers the relationship between different material manifestations of the Djan'kawu sisters from a Yolngu perspective. Professor Morphy will show how a film of a ritual performance, an exhibition of objects associated with the place and a contemporary ceremonial performance all have a similar ontological status. The global distribution of Yolngu creativity, in the form of artefacts in museum collections, archived musical performance and films and photographs of people and ceremonies, has recently become an asset that can continually be reconnected to the present.

Professor Howard Morphy (Anthropology's Lansdowne Speaker 2013) is the Director of the Research School of Humanities and the Arts, Australian National University

All welcome to this public talk.

The talk will be video taped

Speaker: Geoff Stanley, MSc

Title: TBD

Join Bob McDonald, one of Canada’s best-known science journalists and host of CBC’s Quirks and Quarks, as he addresses an increasing problem in education where young people are "Information rich but knowledge poor." They can access any information in the world but still don't understand fundamental principles. Children need to be taken outdoors and introduced to planet Earth and their community, to see how things work and to meet people who use scientific principles in their work, whether it's the local mechanic, horticulturalist or city planner. Education reaches far beyond the classroom.

$24 plus HST (includes tea/coffee) Pre-registration is necessary; call 250-472-4747 or register online at www.uvcs.uvic.ca/

All welcome

From the studios of 23 University of Victoria art education instructors in the Faculty of Education comes a rich and diverse exhibition of images and objects in traditional and new media. These works reflect studio lives that serve as foundation for the collaboration and exchange of ideas between these artist/educators in their daily work with students engaged in creative problem solving, studio-based visual research and art exhibitions of their own. The classroom and the studio are interconnected sites of research for this creative community where teaching informs studio practice and studio informs teaching practice. This exhibition invites visitors to experience those dynamic interactions.

The gallery is open Wednesday - Saturday, 10 am - 4 pm.
