Panel event highlights all that\u2019s changed, and stayed the same, over half-a-century of life in Bendigo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

UP to sixty years on, Bendigo locals are invited to a get together for an event celebrating the Post Office Gallery\u2019s current exhibition, Modern Revolution: Bendigo and the 1960s<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Modern Revolution<\/em> exhibition incorporates the insights and memorabilia of a selection of people who grew up, lived and worked in Bendigo during the era.<\/p>\n

Facilitated by guest curator Euan McGillivray, the upcoming 45-minute panel discussion will be joined by several of the 24 featured Bendigonians, who will talk through some of the major changes that took place way back then.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe swinging sixties was the start of the permissive society, an exciting decade which really changed the world,\u201d Mr McGillivray said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exhibition uses their words, and they were able to discuss what happened in Bendigo as well as how it saw itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr McGillivray said everyone interviewed for the exhibition remembered in particular \u201cthe loss of magnificent buildings in Bendigo during that time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also spoke of a freedom to achieve whatever they imagined. However, some were conscious of social inequalities and dangerous world events, such as the Cold War,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the 1960s became a time to self-reflect and discuss what type of future we wanted, it has been said that rural and regional populations were generally fairly conservative.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn aim of the exhibition is to present, through the interviewed voices, Bendigo in the wider world.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome themes, while not Bendigo specific, had an impact on the interviewees – such as the moon landing, political assassinations in the USA, the contraceptive pill, Vietnam, equal pay and so on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The concept for the exhibition originated from the idea to pair it with the current Mary Quant show at the Bendigo Art Gallery – which is set deeply in the British 1960s – and to showcase what was happening in Bendigo at the same time.<\/p>\n

Attendees will be able to visit the Post Office Gallery before making their way to the discussion at Bendigo Art Gallery\u2019s Revolution Room.<\/p>\n

Visiting curator Mr McGillivray is a legendary figure in the Victorian arts industry.<\/p>\n

He has developed collections and exhibitions at Museum Victoria and was instrumental in the establishment of Scienceworks, Melbourne Museum and the Immigration Museum.<\/p>\n

The panel takes place on Saturday 19 June, from 3pm to 3.45pm, with free tickets available via bit.ly\/3cp4JXZ<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
