Join Us for Ordinary Objects, Extraordinary Stories – a multi-media exhibition combining audio storytelling and artistic interpretations of a series of objects contributed by members of the Creswick community.
From everyday items and cherished childhood toys to rare antiques discover the layers of meaning that our most treasured possessions hold and connect with the stories that shape our lives.
From objects that evoke memories of fleeing a war-torn country, the Gold Rush era of Creswick, a life dedicated to environmental activism or practicalities of living with visual impairment – to items that bring back the legacy and memory of a loved one or a phase of life or career that’s been left behind – Ordinary Objects Extraordinary Stories will provoke you to contemplate what you hold dear and why our possessions can have such an impact on our lives.
Time: Daytime Exhibition: 1pm to 5pm (Saturday), 11am to 3pm (Sunday) Evening Performance: 7pm (Saturday)
Location: Creswick Courthouse Theatre
