Melbourne History Talk: Making the Shrine
About
Stories from Victoria’s War Memorial.The Shrine of Remembrance is an everyday sight for all Melbournians. But while everyone knows its purpose, not everyone knows its stories. The competition for its design; the eleventh-hour campaign that forced it into existence. The community enterprise that helped to fund it. The hardship and struggle that came with its creation.
Join Laura J Carroll for a fascinating look behind the scenes at the creation of her graphic novel 'Making the Shrine: stories from Victoria’s war memorial'.
“Melbourne’s Shrine is a storied place and those stories have greater diversity and reach than you can imagine. Which is why we need an artist as gifted as Laura J Carroll to have used her talent, research-skills and imagination to produce such an unexpected and remarkable history. Making the Shrine is a unique and extraordinary book" - Sophie Cunningham.
