Celebrate History Month at the PMI Victorian History Library with a truly inspiring event, “In Conversation with Professor Clare Wright OAM: A Monument of One’s Own”. 

Professor Clare Wright is one of Australia’s most influential historians and our proud library patron. This session will see Clare explore the fascinating stories behind Victoria’s public monuments and share the journey and impact of her acclaimed project, A Monument of One’s Own. Through her passion for commemorative justice, Clare invites us to reflect on whose stories are celebrated in our streets, and the remarkable lives yet to be recognised.

Join us to discover how public statues shape our collective memory and how Clare’s work seeks to balance who is honoured in Victorian history. It’s a chance to engage with someone who has dedicated her career to bringing Australia’s hidden voices and untold stories into the light.

This event is part of our Exploring Victorian Voices lecture series, your gateway to the rich and diverse tapestry that makes up our state’s heritage.
