Mel chats with Carla Yeung, Community Engagement Officer, Northern Territory Library. Creative in Residence – Exhibition and Zine Launch: 6 March – 7 April 19 · Cj Fraser-Bell is finishing up her residency with us at the Library. · Cj is a multi-disciplinary NT artist who hosted zine-making workshops last year and created an installation located on the main level of the Library displaying zines and her poetry. She encourages patrons to leave messages using her typewriter which can be added to the installation. · Over the weekend (23 Feb) Cj held performances in the Library where she invited people on an intimate tour exploring the Library as a physical space. · To wrap off Cj’s residency, she will launch her two zines and exhibit a collection of her original illustrations, paintings, poems and collages which she created using the Library’s collection. Schultze and Hoare: the Collector and the Illustrator: 5 February – 24 March 19 · 2019 marks 150 years since Goyder and his team of 138 men first arrived in Darwin to survey the land and establish a capital city in the tropics. · Frederich Schultze was the official botanist and naturalist on the expedition. He spent many months collecting 995 plant specimens, over 600 bird skins and countless shells, fish, corals and small vetebrates. These were all carefully labelled and sent back to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens and Museum. · Schultze knew the natural colours of the specimens he collected would not survive the preservation process. As a result he enlisted the help of the expedition’s assistant surgeon and amateur artist William Webster Hoare, commissioning him to paint watercolours and draw illustrations of the specimens. · Images of Schultze’s plant specimens and Hoare’s watercolour paintings are on display until Sunday 24 March. Book talk - Living with the legacy of violence: Indonesia’s 1965-66 mass violence and its impact today: 13 March 19 · Join ABC Darwin’s Matt Garrick in conversation with CDU lecturer, historian and author Dr. Vannessa Hearman to discuss the anti-communist violence in Indonesia during 1965-66. · Born in Indonesia during the height of the army-led New Order regime, Dr. Hearman migrated to Melbourne with her mum at a young age. · Her research work focuses on south-east Asian history and politics, particularly human rights and transnational activism in Indonesia and East Timor. · Dr Hearman recently published her book Unmarked Graves: Death and Survival in the Anti-Communist Violence in East Java, Indonesia. Delivering a better understanding of Indonesia’s past, this body of work looks into the human cost and impact of violence in Indonesia on people from both sides of the political divide. Exhibitions and events are free but bookings recommended. You can visit our Northern Territory Library website on ntl.nt.gov.au to book or check out what’s coming up on our ‘What’s On’ page.

This interview is the fourth and and final interview in a short series of podcasts about the mass violence in Indonesia.  Earlier this year I talked with Geoff Robinson, Jess Melvin and Kate McGregor and Annie Pohlman about their works. All of them have written thoughtful, carefully researched and richly detailed analyses of the violence.  Each of them shared a similar interest in the causes and nature of the violence.  While their approaches varied, each attempted to shed new light on events which have been hidden or misrepresented. Vannessa Hearman, in her new book Unmarked Graves: Death and Survival in the Anti-Communist Violence in East Java, Indonesia (NUS Press, 2018), continues this effort.  By focusing on East Java, Hearman looks at the violence from another angle, allowing us to compare how different regions descended into violence.  Reading her book together with Melvin’s offers us a fuller understanding of the relationship between high-level actors and local officials and between center and periphery.  In particular, her analysis of the relationship between the army and non-state actors was eye-opening. But Hearman offers much more than this.  The book, largely based on extensive interviews Hearman conducted over the course of years, recounts the violence on an individual level.  Hearman helps us understand how those who were targeted with murder tried to escape.  She documents the networks of safe houses, couriers and information sources that emerged within days of the violence.  She demonstrates how the Communist Party in East Java tried to understand and respond to the violence, reminding us that, in Indonesia, violence was a process, not an event.  And she shows how the army eventually destroyed the Party’s attempt to create a safe space, using violence that affected not only the communists, but other citizens who lived in the region.  It’s a richly textured, thoroughly researched and ultimately moving portrayal of people trying to understand how their world was falling apart. Kelly McFall is Professor of History and Director of the Honors Program at Newman University. He’s the author of four modules in the Reacting to the Past series, including The Needs of Others: Human Rights, International Organizations and Intervention in Rwanda, 1994.

Join the team at WPCC as they reflect on two exciting new exhibitions including Adaptation: Louise Weaver and Louise Hearman and Jeff Mincham: Ceramics. The team discuss the nature of the adaptation that has occurred in the works of Weaver and Hearman and then consider whether the divide still exists between craft and art in relation to Mincham's work. In "What's happening elsewhere" the team reflect on Art Prizes in light of Richard Bell's recent selection of the winner of the Sulman Art Prize by a coin toss. Finally, "What's on at WPCC" provides an overview of upcoming exhibitions, public programs and events.
