Maria Madeira | Tais, Cul­ture & Resilience – woven sto­ries from Tim­or Leste

Tais, Cul­ture & Resilience – woven sto­ries from Tim­or Leste


Sep­tem­ber 19th – Decem­ber 10th, 2024
Trin­i­ty Col­lege, The Uni­ver­si­ty of Mel­bourne
Naarm / Mel­bourne, Australia

The War­den of Trin­i­ty Col­lege, Pro­fes­sor Ken Hinch­cliff, in part­ner­ship with Debra Sal­vagno, pres­i­dent of East Tim­or Women Aus­tralia (ETWA), warm­ly invite you to join us for our next exhi­bi­tion, Tais, Cul­ture & Resilience.


Tais, Cul­ture & Resilience shares the incred­i­ble sto­ry of Timor-Leste’s jour­ney to inde­pen­dence through the lens of tra­di­tion­al weaving.


Join­ing us at the open­ing will be Seño­ra Ilda da Cruz, Coor­di­na­tor of the LOUD Coop­er­a­tive, Tim­or-Leste, as well as spe­cial guest and artist Maria Madeira, Tim­or-Leste’s rep­re­sen­ta­tive at the 60th Venice Bien­nale (in 2024).


2024 marks sig­nif­i­cant com­mem­o­ra­tions, includ­ing the 25th anniver­sary of Tim­or-Leste’s vote for inde­pen­dence and the start of the Aus­tralian-led INTER­FET mis­sion. It also cel­e­brates 20 years of part­ner­ship between ETWA and the LO’UD Coop­er­a­tive in Tim­or-Leste. ETWA, found­ed by Aus­tralian women in sol­i­dar­i­ty with Tim­or-Leste, is col­lab­o­rat­ing with the Burke Gallery at Trin­i­ty Col­lege, the Uni­ver­si­ty of Mel­bourne on the Tais, Cul­ture & Resilience Exhi­bi­tion and Symposium.


The exhi­bi­tion hon­ours Timor-Leste’s jour­ney to inde­pen­dence and show­cas­es its his­to­ry and tra­di­tions through the vibrant weav­ing cul­ture of the LO’UD Coop­er­a­tive. It high­lights the cul­tur­al arts’ pow­er to inspire and con­nect, reflect­ing the sol­i­dar­i­ty between com­mu­ni­ties in Aus­tralia and Tim­or-Leste. The exhi­bi­tion runs from 19 Sep­tem­ber to 10 Decem­ber 2024.


Tais, Cul­ture & Resilience is ded­i­cat­ed to Marceli­na Pin­to and Dr. Helen Hill, who fought for Timor-Leste’s sov­er­eign­ty. This exhi­bi­tion has been curat­ed by ETWA in part­ner­ship with Trin­i­ty Col­lege, and includes pho­tog­ra­phy by Elaine Briere, Sal­ly Gray, Jorge da Arau­jo, and Ross Bird, and audio-visu­al design by Mar­cus Salvagno.


SYM­PO­SIUM
Join us at the sym­po­sium on Sat­ur­day 21 Sep­tem­ber with keynote speak­er offi­cial INTER­FET his­to­ri­an, Pro­fes­sor Craig Stock­ings, UNSW, along­side schol­ars, activists, and experts who will delve deep­er into these themes, with dis­cus­sions on Timor-Leste’s occu­pa­tion, resis­tance, and tra­di­tion­al cul­ture.
