“Down The Barrel” was the brainchild of Aboriginal Curator Rebekah Raymond, NT. Raymond viewed in storage many photographs stacked neatly in plastic boxes at the Leichardt Council and applied and received a small grant to show the Syron photographs on the Land Rights Movements of the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
One of the Keeping Place support team, Barry Ion, has done a fabulous video of Elaine Syron’s “Day of Conversations” at her Down The Barrel: Indigenous Resistance exhibition.
The exhibition closes at 4 pm on Saturday 26-aug-2017.
So I urge you to go and see it before it closes. Barry’s excellent video will give you a great overview of what motivated Elaine to pursue her photographic journey 40+ years ago.
