SUMMARY:Art & Culture : 25th Biennale of Sydney tour
DESCRIPTION:Our next Art & Culture tour will be visiting the 25th Biennale of Sydney at White Bay Power Station. \nBACKGROUND: The Biennale of Sydney is one of the leading international contemporary art events. Since its inception in 1973\, the Biennale of Sydney has provided a platform for art and ideas celebrated at home and around the world. How lucky are we to have it right on our doorstep! \nThe theme of the 25th Biennale of Sydney is ReMemory. The term ‘rememory’ was coined by Toni Morrison in her bestselling novel\, Beloved. \nThe official website reads: “A means of revisiting\, reconstructing\, and reclaiming histories that have been erased or repressed\, Rememory signifies the intersection of memory and history\, where recollection becomes an act of reassembling fragments of the past—whether personal\, familial\, or collective. The 25th edition of the Biennale connects the delicate space between remembering and forgetting. By engaging with Rememory\, artists will highlight marginalised narratives\, share untold stories\, and inspire audiences to rethink how memory shapes identity\, belonging\, and the creation and celebration of new communities and connections”. \nArtistic Director\, Hoor Al Qasimi is quoted as saying “Sydney has a multicultural community at its core\, with people from different cultures from across the world choosing and calling this vibrant city as their home. I’m interested in exploring the multifaceted cultures and perspectives within this city\, working with local artists and communities\, as well as bringing new voices to the Biennale. It is an honour and privilege to be nominated and then selected to be Artistic Director of the 25th Biennale of Sydney\, which I have been visiting for over a decade now. I have seen the developments over the years\, including the amplification of Indigenous voices both local and global\, which has made it an essential platform for rewriting art history.” \nTOUR DURATION – 60 minutes \nMEETING PLACE: White Bay Forecourt\, or if too hot/wet\, the Info Hub at the entrance. \nMORNING TEA/BRUNCH: There is nothing formally organised\, however\, there are food trucks at the venue\, or we can wander to Rozelle\, Balmain for something.  \nBe sure to book your place ASAP to experience this incredibly fascinating exhibition. Tour is limited to 20 people. \n  \nDATE: Tuesday 21 April \nTIME: 10.15am for 10.30am tours \nVENUE: White Bay Power Station\, Robert Street\, Rozelle. 2026 \nCOST OF GUIDED TOUR: $ 15.00 per person \nRSVP TO:  Shelley Fredman shelleyfredman@gmail.com  by  5pm April 14th\, 2026.  RSVP prior to payment.    \nPAYMENT OPTIONS:  \nPayment Option 1: By Credit Card through the Payments section of the website \nPayment Option 2: Online (direct deposit) into the SWIC bank account \nAccount Name: Sydney Women’s International Club Incorporated \nBSB No: 112-879 \nAccount No: 431-019-281 \nDescription: Event + your initial and surname \nTRANSPORT \nBy Bus: Bus 441 and 442 from Queen Victoria Building\, York Street\, Stands B and D.

SUMMARY:Art and Culture - Visit to White Bay Power Station - FULL - Waitlist
DESCRIPTION:Dear Art and Culture Enthusiasts\, \nPlease join us on a visit to White Bay Power Station – the longest serving Sydney power station. It was constructed between 1912 and 1917 to power Sydney’s tram system and later\, its rail network. \nPlacemaking NSW has undertaken extensive remediation and conservation works to repurpose White Bay Power Station as an art\, cultural and community hub. The Power Station is significant as it is the only one retaining machinery and equipment from before the 1950s\, demonstrating the process of electricity production and its use throughout Sydney’s extensive rail network. It is listed on the NSW State Heritage\, National Trust of Australia and National Estate registers. The refurbished Powerhouse opened on 8 March 24 with a spectacular evening event to celebrate its inaugural exhibition as one of the hosts of the 24 Sydney Biennale. \nWe will explore White Bay Power Station’s historic Turbine Hall and Boiler House while enjoying an Art Tour of some of the exhibits from the 24 Biennale of Sydney. Aesthetically\, White Bay Power Station contains internal and external spaces of exceptional significance. These spaces include raw industrial spaces of scale\, quality and configuration which are becoming increasingly rare\, and which inspire visitors and users alike. Externally\, it is a widely recognised and highly visible landmark\, marking the head of White Bay and the southern entry to the Balmain Peninsula and its industrial waterfront. It retains a powerful physical presence and industrial aesthetic and is the most important surviving industrial building in NSW. \nFollowing the tour members are free to explore the site. There is a Café for those wishing to enjoy a casual lunch or a coffee.  Shuttle buses return every 15 minutes to The Queen Victoria Building. \nAboriginal Cultural Heritage.  \nThe stretch of Country now known as Bays West has been known for millennia as Gari Gurad/Nura (Saltwater Country) and Nattai Gurad/Nura (Freshwater Country). \nDATE: Tuesday 21 May 2024 \nTIME: 11. 15am – 12.15pm (approximately) \nVENUE: The White Bay Power Station \nADDRESS: Robert St\, Rozelle NSW 2039 Phone: (02) 9216 5700 \nMEETING PLACE:    Outside the building at the seating area adjacent to the Tour Hub Van at 10.55am. \nCOST: $15.00 pp \nRSVP TO: Alison Ross Email: arross@bigpond.net.au with your name and mobile phone number. \nRSVP BY:  10 May 2024 It is advisable to RSVP early as this event has a maximum of 30 members.
