28 REPORT ON PERFORMANCE OLD PARLIAMENT HOUSE ANNUAL REPORT 2011-12 Travelling exhibitions The travelling exhibitions program is a means of both delivering outreach activities and providing cooperative programming to organisations with aims or audiences similar to those of the museum. It makes a significant contribution to establishing the museum as a pre-eminent and innovative institution. During the year, the museum’s travelling exhibitions portfolio was reviewed and refreshed, and promoted to Australian cultural institutions. This resulted in the museum’s suite of travelling exhibitions being presented at 10 locations in three states. As part of the exhibition program, temporary exhibitions developed for the museum are adapted for touring at the end of their onsite season. A touring version of the highly successful exhibition Marnti warajanga—a walk together, which tells the story of the journey towards democracy undertaken by several Indigenous communities in the Pilbara region of northern Western Australia, was developed. The travelling exhibition, Marnti warajanga—a walk together, was supported by significant sponsorship from BHP Billiton and funding from the Australian Government’s National Collecting Institutions Touring and Outreach Program. The exhibition was presented in Perth from 13 to 30 April. A specially designed touring version travelled to the Pilbara communities of South Hedland, Warralong, Yandeyarra, Newman and Jigalong during May and June. The tour included a series of community workshops related to Indigenous experiences of their journey towards democracy, and enabled significant transfer of knowledge regarding exhibition development to those communities. An online presence and a learning resource were also developed for the exhibition. A more detailed report on the exhibition is provided in a case study on pages 29–30. The museum produced two travelling versions of Behind The Lines this year, so that the exhibition could be presented by two venues simultaneously and shown in each venue for longer periods. Behind The Lines was exhibited at two venues in New South Wales (Riverside Theatres, Parramatta, 11 April–20 June 2012; and Albury LibraryMuseum, 6 April–6 May 2012) and one venue in Queensland (Cairns Regional Art Gallery, 27 January–1 April 2012). The Mrs Prime Minister—Public Image, Private Lives travelling exhibition was also displayed in Queensland (Rockhampton Art Gallery, 7 April–20 May 2012).

CASE STUDY: MARNTI WARAJANGA—A WALK TOGETHER TRAVELLING EXHIBITION 29 OLD PARLIAMENT HOUSE ANNUAL REPORT 2011-12 Marnti warajanga glows at night at Yandeyarra Photo: Tobias Titz MARNTI WARAJANGA—A WALK TOGETHER TRAVELLING EXHIBITION In April–June 2012 the Museum of Australian Democracy undertook its most complex and farreaching community outreach program to date, touring Marnti warajanga—a walk together to Perth and the Pilbara region of northern Western Australia. The content of the exhibition was developed over four years in collaboration with the Wangka Maya Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre and photographer Tobias Titz. The exhibition features striking, close-up photographic portraits of Indigenous people from the communities of the Pilbara and non-Indigenous people who have worked closely with them. The portraits feature the subjects’ hand-written reflections on the democratic history of people of the Pilbara. In their own words they bear witness to momentous historical movements and reflect on their ongoing work for social and political change. A key principle underpinning the exhibition’s development was that the community’s voice should be represented directly. The photographer invited his subjects to write onto the photo negatives, making their responses an integral part of the portraits. This process gave the subjects the opportunity to share their stories directly with the rest of Australia, through the museum. Marnti warajanga was originally displayed as a temporary exhibition in the museum in 2010–11. Recognising the importance of respecting community input to exhibitions and the value of sharing history within communities, the museum developed the new touring exhibition as an outreach program specifically for the people of Perth and the communities of South Hedland, Warralong, Yandeyarra, Newman and Jigalong. The exhibition was designed and built to withstand the harsh conditions of outdoor display in the Pilbara. This made it highly accessible, being suitable for display in venues as diverse as schoolyards and mine sites. Anthalia Thomas comments on Country in a Marnti warajanga workshop. Photo: Tobias Titz
