Local artists exploring truths, myths and legends of the Mid-West. Charmaine Green debunks the Hawes Myth, Marina Baker ventures into New Norcia's archives and Roy Merrit weaves for Sia. || Produced by Barking Wolf and Elsa Silberstein for the Geraldton Regional Art Gallery || https://artgallery.cgg.wa.gov.au/news/the-alternative-archive-truths-myths-and-legends-of-the-midwest/3518/66 || This podcast grew from an arts project titled ‘The Alternative Archive,’ which generated exhibitions in 13 regional WA towns. In Geraldton, 12 artists and first-time curator Ingrid Horn responded to the brief - to tell local stories, to archive memory and experience - in the exhibition Truths, Myths and Legends of the Midwest at the Geraldton Regional Art Gallery from June to July 2019. || This project is supported by the Australian Government Regional Arts Fund, the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries with the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, Country Arts WA, Galleries West, The Creative Grid, John Curtin Gallery at Curtin University and is coordinated by Southern Forest Arts.
