Rising Spirit of ANZAC

until 4 June

The Rising Spirit of ANZAC exhibition records the personal stories of 20 Australian veterans, in words and images, through successive generations. Bringing together the stories and images of each individual taken during their period of service and recent portraits by social documentary photographer Sharyn Meade the exhibition explores the lives of men and women who served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and recent Peacekeeping operations.

ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The ANZAC legend grew out of the personal qualities of ordinary men and women who served and sacrificed in the Great War.

The ANZAC tradition is a cornerstone of what it is to be Australian. Each year on 25 April, generations of Australians and New Zealanders pause to honour and remember the sacrifices made by others.
