The Women’s Art Register recently turned 50 — a major milestone for an archive shaped by a collective vision and sustained by volunteers. The new book, Keeping things together, brings the Register’s history and ongoing impact on Australian culture to life. Join our panellists and special guests Meredith Rogers, Lesley Dumbrell, Maya Hodge and Azza Zein for a lively discussion on art, archives and feminism, and to celebrate the things that keep community organisations together through the highs and lows of social change.

Moderator:
Anna Daly (Women’s Art Register, editor of Keeping Things Together)

Speakers:
Meredith Rogers (founding member of Women’s Art Register)
Lesley Dumbrell (founding member of Women’s Art Register, exhibiting at MAF with Charles Nodrum Gallery)
Maya Hodge (Curator and writer)
Azza Zein (Artist and writer, Women’s Art Register committee member 2021-2023)
