Film Screening: Women of the Sun

 

Well before the so-called 'history wars' over representation of
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island experience, Hyllus Maris and Sonia
Borg scripted a television series which focussed on issues which would
dominate Aboriginal affairs in the following decades. Twenty-five years
on, the Macleay Museum will be screening the first two parts of this
popular and groundbreaking television series from the 1980s. An interval
reception will be held at the Macleay Museum - a final opportunity to
see the Living Water exhibition featuring fine artistic expressions of
Aboriginal identity from the collections.
