This event is presented by the ºìÌÒÊÓƵ HIVE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This immersive presentation will take attendees through a detailed look at the iconic wide-angle panoramic depiction of 1832 Albany created by Lieutenant Robert Dale and artist Robert Havell. The 2.7m long panorama exists as a hand-coloured lithographic print created by Havell, based on pencil drawings by Dale, from the peak of Mount Clarence\/Corndarup in Albany. Four originals of the panorama are currently held in Western Australian collections, and other originals exist in collections around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Albany Then & Now: Historical Panoramas of Menang Noongar Boodja<\/em> exhibition, currently on display at John Curtin Gallery, digital scans of five different originals of Dale’s panorama were collated. These originals will be compared and contrasted using Curtin HIVE’s cutting edge visualisation tool, accompanied by a presentation examining the history of the artwork, the technique of its creation, and the similarities and differences between the five originals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An original of the Dale panorama from the Janet Holmes \u00e0 Court collection is also on display as part of JCG’s current Christopher Pease: Terra Nullius <\/a><\/em>exhibition, where it is juxtaposed against artworks by Pease challenging the panorama\u2019s colonial vision of harmony, and calling attention to Dale\u2019s involvement in the transportation of Noongar resistance leader Yagan\u2019s severed head to London for public display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the presentation, attendees are encouraged to explore both the Albany Then & Now<\/em> exhibition and Christopher Pease: Terra Nullius<\/em>, before both exhibitions finish at JCG on 23 August 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
