In Her Own Image: Greek-Australian Women
Curated by Effy Alexakis and Leonard Janiszewski.
This exhibition will present a number of past and present Greek-Australian women reflecting upon their personal triumphs, failures, outlooks, roles and standing within their immediate local or ethnic community and the broader Australian community.
The exhibition will contain approximately 50 images and include both principal framed and mounted photographs and supplementary images. Each has an associated caption outlining the details of the photo's subject, extracted primarily from oral history interviews conducted by historian Leonard Janiszewski. Most of the principal images are contemporary portraits taken by documentary photographer Effy Alexakis. Contemporary photographs and oral history interviews were undertaken between 1985 and 2003. Supplementary images are primarily historical and range in date principally from the late nineteenth century to the 1960s.

Stone Crosses from Kerala in South India
Curated by Dr. Ken Parry, Senior Research Fellow, School of Ancient
History, Macquarie University.
Photographic and interpretive exhibition on the archaeological and
historical significance of the surviving 'stone crosses' associated with
the Syriac Christian churches of Kerala in South India.
The exhibition focuses on the medieval crosses and their decorated pedestals belonging to the various churches of the St. Thomas Christians in Kerala. The crosses have received little scholarly attention and are still hardly known outside South India. In fact no detailed archaeological surveys of the ancient crosses and churches of Kerala have been made. This is in spite of the fact that some of them are clearly pre-Portuguese in origin and therefore of the utmost importance to India's national and cultural heritage.
