SUMMARY:Material Histories: Wearable Protest
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. \nFirst speaker:\nWhy are we dropping Holt on Hanoi? How the creation and wearing of protest badges underpinned anti-Vietnam protest\nDr Hannah Viney\nThe Vietnam War and conscription was one of the most divisive debates during Harold Holt’s brief time as Prime Minister\, so it’s no wonder his name appears on many creative protest badges from the 1960s. Protest badges have been around for a long time\, but the number exploded during the Vietnam War years. This talk will ask why badges became such a popular protest tactic during the war\, and what studying these badges can tell us about the daily realities of activism.\nDr Hannah Viney is a history consultant and museum professional who specialises in Australian social and cultural history\, with a particular interest in the intersections between Cold War politics and gender history. \nSecond speaker:\nSubverting Femininity: Sewing Activist Aprons\nMargaret Anderson\nIf we think about wearable protest\, many of us will think first of t-shirts. Now produced in huge numbers\, t-shirts with political slogans are created in support of a bewildering range of causes\, across the entire political spectrum. Many are gender neutral. But there is an older history of protest garments\, dating to the early-twentieth century in Australia. Some\, like protest aprons\, were everyday\, feminine garments\, recast as activist objects. In this guise they both challenged and subverted traditional gender roles.\nMargaret Anderson is Director of the Old Treasury Building. A public historian\, she researches and writes on Victorian history\, women’s history\, the history and demography of the family and the practice of public history. \nMaterial Histories is presented by Old Treasury Building in partnership with Deakin University and Australian Catholic University.

SUMMARY:Global ITP Awareness Week 2026
DESCRIPTION:Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare autoimmune bleeding disorder. It causes the body’s immune system to destroy platelets and/or limits the production of new platelets. This affects the blood’s ability to clot. \nITP can occur at any age. It affects both children and adults. The specific cause isn’t known. There is no cure. The number of people with ITP at any given time in Australia and New Zealand is approximately 9.5 per 100\,000. \n2026 will be the 11th year that Global ITP Awareness Week has been held internationally. ITP Awareness Week (21–27 September 2026) is a designated week during which individuals worldwide come together to raise public awareness of the rare autoimmune disease\, immune thrombocytopenia\, and to spotlight the ITP patient experience. \nAs part of the #LightUp4ITP campaign\, landmarks across Australia and New Zealand will light up Purple to support those living with ITP. \nOld Treasury Building will be lit in purple for this event from sunrise to sunset.

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.
