SUMMARY:Global Dysautonomia Awareness Month 2026
DESCRIPTION:October 2026 marks Dysautonomia International’s 15th Global Dysautonomia Awareness Month campaign. \nEach year building and monument owners are asked to light up the night sky turquoise for Dysautonomia Awareness Month\nOn Friday October 2nd\, the world joins to ‘Turn the Town Turquoise’. \nDysautonomia Dysautonomia (pronounced dis-oughta’-no-me-uh) is an umbrella term that includes many different diseases of the autonomic nervous system. Over 70 million people worldwide live with a form of dysautonomia. The autonomic nervous system controls all of the involuntary functions of the body\, like heart rate\, blood pressure\, digestion\, and temperature control. Some forms of dysautonomia are mild\, while others are fatal\, but all forms of dysautonomia can be very debilitating. People with dysautonomia often suffer for years undiagnosed\, due to a lack of awareness. \nOld Treasury Building will be lit in turquoise for this event from sunrise to sunset.

SUMMARY:Light it Red for Dyslexia 2026
DESCRIPTION:Ask any dyslexic about their school experience and they will tell you about the gut wrenching fear of receiving back their school work covered in red crosses and comments. When Light it Red started in 2015\, it was about taking back the power of that colour to raise awareness. The colour influenced our name Code Read (pronounced RED) Dyslexia Network. Red is disruptive and cannot be ignored but it also highlights the urgency of the situation. In effect we wanted to say that it is time to stop sweeping this important issue under the carpet and take action. \nCode REaD Dyslexia Network’s annual  ‘Light it Red for Dyslexia’ campaign\, designed to Raise Dyslexia Awareness by lighting significant monuments\, buildings and landmarks RED during Dyslexia Awareness Month each October. \nOld Treasury Building will be lit in red for this event from sunrise to sunset.

SUMMARY:Material Histories: Collision: Fashion and Fabrics
DESCRIPTION:We live surrounded by material things. Some are mundane and utilitarian\, others exotic objects of desire\, but all our belongings have something to say about who we are and how we live. Objects reflect both culture and history. Individually and collectively\, they shape our lives\, link us to others and connect us to the past. Yet objects are often strangely absent from accounts of past lives. This seminar series aims to unpack some of the stories that objects can tell about the present and about the past.  We also hope to provide a forum for discussion for those of us interested in material histories. We aim to cast the net widely\, with no limitations on either time or space. \nHow does fabric define a designer? Hartnell of Melbourne used expensive French lace in their winning design for the 1963 Gown of the Year\, while Jenny Bannister’s use of recycled materials made her a counter-culture rebel! This talk will look at two eras of Melbourne fashion\, the 1960s and the emerging youth market demanding modern styles\, and the 1970s\, a time of experimentation and a turn towards unconventional materials. \nFirst speaker:\nGown of the Year 1963\nJess Curtain\, Brighton Historical Society \nIt took 300 hours and 3\,000 pounds to create\, the imported French lace stitched by hand and embellished with thousands of glistening beads. Designed by Lorna White for Hartnell of Melbourne\, the winning 1963 Gown of the Year is both a stunning work of craftsmanship and a snapshot of a particular time in Melbourne fashion—a time when Flinders Lane was still the bustling heart of Australia’s rag trade\, with many businesses owned by Jewish migrant families\, and high-end fashion houses were able to splash lavish resources on a single showpiece. But by 1963\, a new youth market was emerging\, demanding modern and affordable styles\, and labels like Hartnell would be forced to adapt. \n  \nSecond speaker:\nJenny Bannister: punk icon and fashion trailblazer\nDorela Gerardi\, Museums Victoria \nJenny Bannister is one of Australia’s most iconic fashion designers. Emerging in the late 1970s\, her clothes during this period are marked by material experimentation and a counter-culture rebellion that signify the spirit of the times. From fabric remnants and material detritus\, Jenny created clothes that were unconventional\, experimental\, exuberant\, and exciting. Today\, Jenny’s early commitment to material reclamation and reuse positions her a trailblazer of upcycled fashion. Critically\, her work maintains a powerful resonance in contemporary fashion and its efforts to address the concerns of sustainability in design. \nDorela is currently the Curator\, Jenny Bannister Collection at Museums Victoria. She also has extensive experience working as Collections Manager in the museum and local government sectors. Her early career was in fashion and costume design with a focus on creating hand-printed custom pieces. \n  \nMaterial Histories is presented by Old Treasury Building in partnership with Deakin University and Australian Catholic University. \n  \n‘Collision: Fashion and Fabrics’ is presented as part of the Melbourne Fashion Week Independent Program.

SUMMARY:Homes & Hygiene in Marvellous Smellbourne
DESCRIPTION:Those of us living in modern Western cities mostly take personal hygiene for granted. We have access to abundant fresh (and safe) water\, more varieties of soap and other cleaning products then we can possibly need and easy access to a bathroom on a daily basis. Indeed\, the average home in Australia in 2023 apparently had 2.6 bathrooms. That is almost one each! But imagine if we had none of these things. What would daily life be like? \nJoin Margaret Anderson as she examines the grubby realities of life in Melbourne before 1900\, and then charts the changes that the twentieth century brought to homes and hygiene.
