On this International Museum's Day, we are thrilled to announce that the Partition Museum Delhi is ready to open its doors. Starting from May 20th, the museum will be welcoming visitors.
Even 159 years later you canโt keep Fanny down! Congrats Santi, David and Tony on their win at AIDC! Fanny is currently out on a global tour via Our African Roots international festivals and this AIDC win! ๐พ๐
Fanny Finch getting the air-time she deserves @Library_Vic blog on #IWD2022 . Research by yours truly, Kasey Chamberlain. ๐

Since this articleโs publication in 2019, several women were identified by name as voters at Warrnambool a week before Fanny. This certainly doesnโt detract any significance from Fanny as a trailblazing African-diaspora voter in 1856, nor from her many other historic achievements
For #IWD2022, let's revisit some of the forgotten female trailblazers profiled in @ConversationEDU's series Hidden Women of History... (a thread ๐งต) #BreakingTheBias
First up, Australiaโs first known female voter, profiled by @latrobe's @kaceysincl.

Finding Fanny Finch is coming back to town! Commonplace Productions (Bill Garner & Sue Gore), @kaceysincl, Pat Furze @thebridge3450, Friends of Wendy Cotton and I are the happy recipients of a Sustaining Creative Workers grant to keep her story alive.
What fun to re-live the @statefestival through these stellar images by local photographer Brendan McCarthy. Very much looking forward to joining @pollywolfie and Bill Garner again on stage to perform our award-winning play (thanks to @PRO_Vic) #FindingFannyFinch again!
The Historical Interpretation Award goes to: Bill Garner & Sue Gore (Commonplace Productions) w/Kacey Sinclair @kaceysincl, Alice Garner, Pat Furze and Band Friends of Wendy Cotton for Finding Fanny Finch, performed as part of the 2021 Castlemaine @statefestival#VCHA2021
