Belonging is the outcome of an out-of-the-blue exhibition project management opportunity which grew very quickly into a curatorial project. Completed in just 10 weeks, this project required that I dive into the Ulverstone History Museum collection and develop an exhibition ready for the opening of new premises. In addition to being Curator I was responsible for designing, commissioning and installing exhibition infrastructure, writing interpretation text and preparing and installing the objects.
One of the joys of this project was working with Co-Curator, Dave Gough, to integrate objects that illuminate stories of Aboriginal presence in the region, which were otherwise absent from the Museum collection.
