You are welcome to drop by the studio of Paul Johnston Architects and Heritage Consultants. The first floor studio is located in the original Ladies Lounge of the City Hall, and former RAIA office. Access is off Market Place, opposite the Hope and Anchor Tavern.
The photographic work of Simon Cuthbert – which accompanied the Richard Bladel play ‘Transylvannia’ in 1997 – is currently being shown. Simon’s work considers what it is to belong in a place of darkness, where the colonial is pitted against the immensity of landscape.
“These images linger within the mind’s eye as half formed memories, a sense of timelessness and belonging, that these places have always been, and still are.” (Bill Hart)
Paul will be available to discuss his contribution to the Unsettling Queenstown exhibition at this year’s Venice Biennale, which examines colonial myth-making and the importance of a reinterpretation of heritage places as the basis for ‘truth telling’, as we continue our evolution towards reconciliation.
Open: Thursday 16 November, 5 pm – 7 pm

![Open House Hobart and the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) Tasmania @emagn_tas would like to thank everyone who kindly bid in this year's annual Sheltered [Ground] Silent Auction.
We watched the last-minute bidding war on some items (looking at your chair, @other_furniture_) with absolute glee; because, together, you helped raise over $8000 for the Hobart Women's Shelter @hobartwomensshelter. Legends. THANK YOU!!
If you missed out on an item, but you'd still like to support HWS, please head to the link in bio to make a donation. Your financial help plays a critical role in supporting service delivery and therapeutic programs, and fund strategic projects such as building long-term homes. Such programs provide opportunities for women and children to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Finally, congratulations to those who outbid everyone else – enjoy your beautiful pieces, knowing there's a string of jealous individuals who missed out. Don't worry! We'll do it all again next year.
