  Exhibitions and performances
  General public
  This exhibition includes a collection of seven paintings by award-wining Chinese Australian artist — Adam Chang.

  From ‘human beings’ to ‘Shan Shui with Panda’, the theme of Adam Chang’s paintings has shifted from the ‘national treasure’ level cultural celebrity portraits to the grand environmentalist natural kingdom series. Many claimed to have been stunned by the ‘sudden change’ of identity that is happening to a ‘portrait artist’. In fact, this feeling of shock could only have resulted from a misreading of him - although Chang has been internationally acclaimed for his impressive achievements in the art of portraiture, this represented only the tip of the iceberg in the bulk of his artistic attainment. The recent launch of his ‘Shan Shui with Panda’ series should be useful in drawing the attention of the international art world to the breadth of Chang’s artistic thinking and his aesthetic magnitude. Adam Chang is often referred to as ‘a quiet artist’. This is because he, like a ‘hermit’, rarely has any contact with the world outside his studio. This seems to bear a connection with the spiritual ‘inertia’ of the asceticist practice of a senior generation of artists such as Zhao Wuji and Zhu Dequn. The difference is that Chang does not directly draw from the theory of ‘yijing’ (artistic conception) in traditional Chinese painting; instead, he follows the Taoist view of ‘Nature and Man in One’. Following the core concept of ‘harmony’, he is now moving his reflections from about ‘human beings’ to the ultimate realm of harmony between ‘Man and Nature’. From the 2007 Australian national Archibald Prize finalist ‘Brian, the Dog and the Doorway’ to the 2011 People’s Choice Winner ‘John Coetzee’, from the shocking surrealist portrait ‘Salvador Dali’ (2017) to today’s high-profile ‘symbol of China’ combination ‘Shan Shui with Panda’, the new exhibition ‘Adam Chang’s Pandas and Treasures’ very well ‘captures’ some of most representative works of his ‘transitional period’. The national Archibald Prize requires that ‘portrait subjects’ need to be cultural celebrities, but Chang has deliberately chosen to work on two ‘immigrants’- Brian Sherman and John Coetzee are both migrants from South Africa. This choice probably reflects the artist’s own immigrant background, but it simultaneously conveys his appreciation of the beauty of the Australian concept of multiculturalist society. From the cultural perspective of ‘national treasure’ as a symbol, if Brian Sherman’s identity as a philanthropist, John Coetzee’s identity as a poet and novelist and Salvador Dali’s identity as a master of artistic creativity display three dimensions of human civilization- ‘compassion’, ‘poetry’ and ‘mimesis’, the ‘Shan Shui with Panda’ series offers an ‘ultimate’ illustration of the philosophical altitude and the universal value of Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi’s ideal – let all ‘ Human Mankind Sharing a Common Destiny’ understand ‘Nature and Man in One’. In Chang’s inner world, the ‘panda’ probably stands as an embodiment of the contribution made by the Chinese civilization to the world. However, the ‘Shan Shui’ here is not only ‘Chinese landscape’, but rather a general ‘image’ that communicates a globalized ‘Shan Shui’, or ‘the grand Shan Shui’ of the entire universe. If such an artistic vision psychologically and naturally ‘fits’ the upcoming international art trend in the third decade of the 21st century, one might say that, in a way, Chang has helped to ‘pioneer’ for world art through the use of ‘oriental aesthetics’ a ‘harmonious’ way out of a long-term western predominance in international artistic thinking.

  Dedicated to the Dedicated: Whitlam, the Arts and Democracy

  A new exhibition of previously unseen works of Australian art on display.

  Exhibitions and performances
  A new exhibition of previously unseen works of Australian art on display.

  The Whitlam Institute’s new exhibition features the first public display of a unique collection of artworks that was gifted to Gough and Margaret Whitlam in 1979 in recognition of their landmark support for the Arts in Australia. The ‘Whitlams’ Folio’ includes works by John Olsen, Brett Whiteley, Lloyd Rees, John Coburn, Arthur Boyd and more, and is inscribed with a message of thanks to Gough and Margaret Whitlam for ‘the marks they have made on the Australian canvas’. The display is part of a fascinating new exhibition, DEDICATED to the DEDICATED: Whitlam, the Arts and Democracy, which documents how Gough Whitlam viewed the arts as not just as a means of enriching quality of life, but as a fundamental human right and a precondition for a healthy democracy. In his words, "a society in which the arts flourish is a society in which every human value can flourish". Opening Hours: This exhibition is on display in the Margaret Whitlam Galleries at the Female Orphan School from Friday, 7 June to Friday 26 July 2019 on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 am-4 pm and on Saturday 6 July from 11 am-4 pm.

  CER Educational Conversation: The Antecedents of the NSW Curriculum Review: an introduction to the NSW curriculum style.

  In May 2018, the NSW Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, and the Minister for Education, Rob Stokes, announced a review of the NSW curriculum. The Minister hailed it as “the first comprehensive shake-up of the Kindergarten to Year 12 curriculum since 1989”. How did reformers in that era grapple with the issues today confronting the NSW Curriculum Review? Using the issues prominent in the Terms of Reference of the Review as a lens this paper examines key reforms from that period such as the raising of the NSW school leaving age in 2010. Drawing on historical and policy analyses and interviews with key actors, this study concludes that reform has been shaped by NSW’s own distinctive curriculum style. This style has three principal characteristics: an emphasis on the centrality of academic knowledge; an insistence on rigour and competitive assessment; and a preference at the secondary level for conventional subject matter disciplines rather than an integrated or "interdisciplinary" curriculum. PRESENTER. Dr John Hughes was a senior researcher in the New South Wales Department of Education, John is an authority on the history of Australian schooling reform and reformers. His reputation as a scholar in this area was established with his biography of Sir Harold Wyndham, Director-General of the NSW Department of Education from 1952 to 1968. His publications include the book, Reform and Resistance in NSW Public Education: six attempts at major reform, 1905-1995 (NSW Dept. Education and Training 2008) with Dr P. Brock. Recently he completed a background paper for the NSW Curriculum Review that examined the history of the NSW curriculum since 1989. John’s next undertaking is a biography of Alexander Mackie the first principal of Sydney Teachers’ College and also Professor of Education at the University of Sydney. Dr. Hughes is currently an Adjunct Fellow in the School of Education at Western Sydney University.

  This event highlights the comparison, contrast, convergence and commingling in the study of Australian and Chinese arts and culture.

  This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Chinese New Culture (aka the May Fourth) Movement and it affords different societies an opportunity to reflect on their current cultural developments, to re-accentuate the importance of global cultural exchange at a time of international distrusts, paranoid nationalism and anti-globalization. This is as much a job of the future as it has been of the past and present, so the involvement of young scholars is important. It is hoped that this could facilitate the building of “New Cultures” in the 21st century that are both more open and accommodating to and appreciative of cultural differences. Highlighting comparison, contrast, convergence and commingling – four aspects in the study of Australian and Chinese arts and culture, as well as the challenges encountered along the way, the 2019 ACIAC Emerging Scholars Forum brings together over 30 emerging scholars and research students from Australia, China and other parts of the Sinosphere, and elsewhere in the world for an exchange in Australian and Chinese studies in arts and culture. The multidisciplinary forum showcases research in various disciplines ranging from literature, film, history of art and theatrical studies to media and communication, food culture, and diaspora studies. Keynote speakers include Professor Paul Gladston (Inaugural Judith Neilson Chair of Contemporary Art, University of New South Wales) and Professor Wanning Sun (FAHA Professor of Media and Communication Studies, University of Technology Sydney). As part of the forum, there will be a book launch for Dr. Ceciila Leong-Salobir (University of Wollongong)’s Urban Food Culture: Sydney, Shanghai and Singapore in the Twentieth Century (2019, Palgrave Macmillan US), at 13:50 to 14:30. For any enquiry, please contact Dr Kiu-Wai Chu (ACIAC) at k.chu@westernsydney.edu.au.

  School of Humanities and Communication Arts Postgraduate Conference 2019 11th Annual Interventions and Intersections Conference Making Academic Research Count 27-28 June 2019, Parramatta City Campus The annual Humanities and Communication Arts Higher Degree Research Students Conference is a critical forum for all postgraduate researchers to present their ideas in light of a timely theme. This year, it’s all about “making academic research count.” The theme’s a perfect complement to the current buzz in the higher education sector about “impact” and “engagement,” making for a great opportunity for all postgraduates to consider their own position in relation to this thing called “academic research.” Join the discussion, meet some people, strengthen existing relationships, benefit from some advice, and get some feedback—all you need to do is present a paper at the conference. And, before you present on the day we’ll help prepare you with valuable advice about presenting your ideas at the conference, and we’ll help you write an engaging abstract too! Papers are welcome from all students in every year of their candidature (you might present ideas from your CoC). All disciplines in humanities are welcome, for example, languages, linguistics, philosophy, design, music and more. Seize the opportunity to get feedback from colleagues outside your direct area of research.

  Key health professionals share insights on the discrepancy between the health status of residents in the region’s communities.

  Are the communities of South West Sydney connected to the emerging high-end medical capacity, research and robotics in Liverpool? What can local stakeholders do to strengthen the links between the people of South West Sydney and Liverpool’s burgeoning medical precinct? How can we better address enduring health challenges, particularly in suburbs experiencing high levels of social disadvantage? Come and join the third Ideas 2170 forum ‘Vital Signs: Meeting Liverpool’s health challenges’, featuring among a range of participants: * Professor Les Bokey, Director of Research and Chief Operating Officer at Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research; * Dr Haider Mannan, Lecturer in Biostatistics at Centre for Health Research and the School of Medicine, Western Sydney University; * Dr Fiona Haigh, Deputy Director at the Centre for Health Equity Training, Research and Evaluation at UNSW; and * Dr John Crozier, Vascular and endovascular surgeon, Liverpool Hospital. The state of health and wellbeing in South West Sydney is concerning. Life expectancy is lower in South West Sydney than in Sydney’s eastern suburbs and north shore. South West Sydney has the highest rates of obese and overweight children. The disease rates for diabetes are higher in Western Sydney compared with the rest of NSW. What are the solutions? Be a part of this important forum. Please register through Eventbrite by Monday 24 June 2019.

  All welcome
  Michael Sala on ‘The Dangerous Ambiguity of Using One’s Feet: a novelist’s reflections on negotiating the relationship between place and story.

  NOTE this is a change of date. Seminar is now 5 July. Please cancel 28 June event. ‘The Dangerous Ambiguity of Using One’s Feet: a novelist’s reflections on negotiating the relationship between place and story, and pedestrian and car, in an urban setting’ This paper will attempt to situate the writing of my recent novel, The Restorer, and its relationship to place within a practice-led vantage-point that draws on concepts of writing about the city, ranging from the figure of the flâneur to the field of psychogeography. In part, I am interested in how the act of moving through a city on foot helped me to approach and define the city in which my novel is set and—through this—offered specific opportunities and imaginative possibilities for the narrative rendering and utilisation of place. MICHAEL SALA was born in the Netherlands in 1975 to a Greek father and a Dutch mother, and first came to Australia in the 1980s. He lives in Newcastle. His critically acclaimed debut, The Last Thread, won the 2013 NSW Premier’s Award for New Writing and was the regional winner (Pacific) of the 2013 Commonwealth Book Prize. His latest novel, The Restorer, was short-listed for the NSW Premier's Literary Awards and the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards and was long-listed for the Miles Franklin Award.
