Suzanne Bellamy, Australian artist and feminist scholar, created this film as a comic women's history performance and archive project. Based on the satirical concept of an archaeological dig of Sydney's first Women's Liberation group house in 500 years time. The project has had an ongoing life as a museum exhibit, performance lecture, and slide presentation internationally for 20 years. In this filmed lecture at the National Library of Australia in November 2013, Suzanne Bellamy reflects o Women's Liberation in the early 1970s, the creation and impulse of the Lost Culture project in the mid 1990s, and on what it all means now in the 21st Century. Deeply Thoughtful and funny, filled with stories and images from the period and mock reconstructions, it is about a seriously comic past and present feminist politics and vision. Winner of the Year 2000 Edna Ryan Award for Creative Feminism.Category
