Dear Don, One Night Only Outdoor Exhibition
Past Event
The story of the 1946 Pilbara strike has been told in many different forms over many years now, and those forms can have a profound influence on its content. In the State Library of Western Australia, there is a collection of letters from Don McLeod, a key spokesperson for the 1946 Pilbara Strike. These letters and tokens of history are significant within our state and region. In commemoration of WA Day, we invite artists to respond to the letters written by Don. In this exhibition, artists are invited to explore the letters and enter a dialogue with Don through new-age mediums, culminating in an innovative, never before seen, projection exhibition right here in South Hedland. This exhibition investigates the significant moments of our region and highlights history told through traditional letter-writing, alongside innovating and experimenting with an exciting new forms of communication and display. Date: Friday, 9 June 2023 Time: 6pm – 8pm Venue: Sports Centre Wall, Entrance via Dreamers Corner Food trucks from Dreamer's Corner will join the event.
