$40 ($25 conc), bookings slq.eventbrite.com

3840 7768

Join cultural heritage professionals for an

exploration of the career of Norman Tindale

and why his name is so prominent in Australian

Tindale has often been criticised for the invasive

nature of his research and treating Aboriginal

for his foresight in collecting such a vast

amount of data.

The symposium questions the responsibilities

of those working with this material, and

discusses the need to bring the past to life

in an accurate way. Speakers include Michael

Aird, Vernon Ah Kee, Daniel Browning (ABC

Radio National), Professor Bruce Rigsby (UQ),

Dr. Nancy Williams (UQ), Jeanie Bell (Batchelor

Institute) and more.

Tindale images of his family with new meaning

by producing beautiful portraits that capture

the unique personalities behind the scientifi c

photographs.
