An Intimate Immersive Dining Experience With Lauren Starr 

"Luminaries: Re-imagining women in the Australian goldfields"

Join us for an intimate immersive dining experience with award winning artist Lauren Starr.  As you enjoy a 4 course meal with matched wines inspired by Lauren's art, Lauren will provide you with a sneak peek at some of her finished works from her project "Luminaries: Re-imagining women in the Australian goldfields" and speak about her journey in creating these pieces of work and divulge what is yet to come for this fascinating project.

A luminary is something that gives light, such as a celestial object. It also refers to a person who inspires, who lights the way. Women living in the Australian goldrush period were such beacons of light, however there is very little evidence of them having existed. From artworks to official accounts and historical tellings, they are lost amongst the dust and masculine world of the goldfields. Through Lauren's research, both into her own ancestors and historical documents, she has developed a connection with these pioneering females. It is her intention, that through the use of costume and photography she can re-imagine the Australian landscape of the 1850s and artistically represent the women that lived there.
