  General public
  An exhibition by renowned artist Guan Wei, which showcases the connection between the mind/spirit and body.

  Guan Wei chose the artworks for this exhibition, from his own personal collection, as well as deriving the title for it, Essence, Energy, Spirit, which aptly captures the recurring themes of his art’s practice. Guan Wei is renowned for creating works that interlace imagery from his Chinese heritage, his life experience in Australia and his personal iconography, working across painting, sculpture and installation. The exhibition is comprised of three distinct bodies of work. The series, Return to the Origin contextualises our human journey within the Universe. Images of the human figure are juxtaposed with symbols of the cosmos, deliberately drawn upon ceramics; a material that has been used by humans for thousands of years; to remind the viewer of their relatively brief time in history. Humans are portrayed as being part of nature, but a mere speck within it, when one considers how vast and old the Universe is. The series, Longevity for Beginners explores themes of spiritual and physical balance via imagery of both external and internal views of the human body, drawn from traditional Chinese medicine and qi-gong, as well as his own personal symbolism. The underlying narrative of these paintings suggests the importance of the connection between the mind/spirit and body, and that being in balance with nature is essential for good health and general well-being. The final series, which is Untitled, explores the relationship between the subconscious mind and its effect on our individual perception of our daily reality. Some of these works evoke emotional states of fear, uncertainty, anxiety, pressure, powerlessness and entrapment. A prostrate figure is held precariously by a single thread to a more powerful being; demons and animals are depicted biting or nipping at a heel or eating away at what looks like a heart held in a hand. These paintings are interspersed with others which present a floating head on a bed of clouds, in what seems to be in a state meditation. This series of works suggest to the viewer, that to master their subconscious, spiritual practices and/or exercises can assist in transforming their experience to higher states of consciousness, such as peace, joy and bliss. Ultimately these works by Guan Wei, remind us of the consequences of a fast paced, technology driven, western lifestyle, too full of angst, can be transcended, if we remember our essence, energy and spirit and how to nurture them. Monica McMahon Art Curator Western Sydney University.

Our students have developed their creativity with the Year 7 Visual Arts classes, exploring traditional drawing media and new media through their themed digital manipulations. Similarly, the Year 8 Visual Arts classes have experimented with digital photography and printmaking as they represent their interpretations of the school environment. ‘Cultural Identity’ was the focus for Year 10 Visual Arts as the class designed, carved, and printed their relief lino blocks to reveal their distinctiveness. The Year 9 Visual Arts class created magnificent ‘Pop Sculptures’, and Stage 5 Photographic & Digital Media students present a wide array of interpretations and manipulations through their digital pieces. Students in the Year 11 Visual Arts class have presented their world with sophistication and insight in their bodies of work. During our opening night on Thursday, 5th December, we celebrate the achievements of our students with performances by our Dance Ensemble and Music students. The evening also features a digital slideshow and the premiere of our Year 10 classes’ Japanese films, showcasing a culmination of collaboration, creativity, and communication.

  Art Exhibition: The Road Less Travelled

  An exhibition featuring the works of Rafat Yacoub

  Exhibitions and performances
  Open to the public
  An exhibition featuring the works of Rafat Yacoub Rafat (Rafael) Yacoub is a Jordanian-Australian artist based in Sydney. With his formal education and career in accounting, Rafat’s journey as an artist began quietly, flourishing in the background as he grew up surrounded by the strong influence of his father, who is also an artist. Today, Rafat’s art is full of energy, humanity and social consciousness; a combination of abstract and realistic, old and contemporary, expressionism and realism. “I felt a different type of energy when I focused on my artwork. I felt a flow of inspiration running through me, and I almost seemed manic when I was at my prime in any creation process. I strive to create art that speaks to its audience about the beauty that I create.” - Rafat Yacoub Rafat’s works have been exhibited in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sydney, London, Hamburg, Geneva, Amman, Manila, and Bangkok. In 2019, he was also awarded a ‘Highly Commended’ art prize by the Bankstown Art Society for his work, Sweet Day of Summer, entered in the Victor Veinberg Memorial Award.

  The Golden Country: In Conversation on the Changing Identity of Australia

  Join author Tim Watts MP, Dr Stephen FitzGerald A, Sally Sitou and Jason Yat-sen Li in conversation on Australia's Changing Identity.

  academic events; Conferences and seminars; Information sessions; Social events
  Join author Tim Watts MP, Dr Stephen FitzGerald A, Sally Sitou and Jason Yat-sen Li in conversation on Australia's Changing Identity. Join us at the Whitlam Institute for a panel discussion on The Golden Country: Australia's Changing Identity - a new book from Tim Watts MP, the member for Gellibrand. In the book, Tim notes that in The Lucky Country, Donald Horne wanted to capture ‘what the huge continent was like…before it was peopled from all over Asia’. Sixty years later, we need to ask what Australia is like today, as it is being ‘peopled from all over Asia’, and what a century of nation building in the image of White Australia has meant for our country. Tim opines that John Howard was the unlikely reformer of contemporary Australia. He transformed the migration system, creating the first immigration boom since the White Australia policy ended and dramatically diversifying the population. Yet his divisive rhetoric about national identity has hamstrung discussion about what these changes mean. As a result, Australia is a successful multicultural society with monocultural institutions and symbols. Tim Watts’ family personifies this contradiction. His children are descendants of Hong-Kong—Chinese migrants and of pre-Federation politicians who sought to build a nation that excluded anyone who wasn’t white. As the representative of a diverse federal electorate, Watts asks: why is Australia’s imagined community so far behind its lived community, and what can we do about it? Tim will be joined in discussion by Dr Stephen FitzGerald AO - Whitlam Institute Distinguished Fellow, Australia’s first ambassador to the People’s Republic of China, and one of Australia’s foremost China specialists, Sally Sitou, International Media and Communications specialist and former media and policy advisor for Federal MP Jason Clare and Jason Yat-sen Li - with professional background in law, Jason runs corporate advisory firm - Yatsen Associates, chairs investment firm Vantage Asia Holdings, and is a fellow of the University of Sydney. EVENT: Thursday 30 January 2020, 6:00 - 8:00 pm. Refreshments will be served. This is a free event but registration is essential.
