[Past Event] Marking the Movement – An Archival Journey exhibition

A 20th Anniversary commemorative exhibition celebrating the power of community turning vision into action.

Nel 2004 la Coalizione del Convento di Abbotsford ha lottato per salvare il Convento dalla riqualificazione commerciale e ha vinto. This mighty movement was marked by the Foundation being handed the keys to the Convent by the Victorian Government, providing the community with a luogo speciale per celebrare le arti, la cultura e l'apprendimento. 

For those interested in discovering more about the Convent Coalition’s efforts, the 20 years of vibrant activity that followed and a view to the future, visit the free commemorative exhibition: an archival journey commissioned by Abbotsford Convent and curated by Catlin Langford.

Open to public from 27 April until 25 May, the exhibition is a grateful acknowledgement of those members of our Coalition and other key players who worked – and continue to work – tirelessly to ensure the future of the Convent. The exhibition serves as an uplifting reminder of how far we have come in the past 20 years, the momentum we have gained and a glimpse into what tomorrow holds for our beloved Convent. 

Join us in conversation with the curator of this wonderful exhibition, Catlin Langford Saturday 18 May, 1pm – 2pm in The Store.
