Flinders University Alumni & Advancement

Private FUMA Exhibition Tour and get-together for graduates

Flinders University Art Museum

Join FUMA Director Fiona Salmon on Friday 28 June, for an introduction to the If you don’t fight … you lose: politics, posters and PAM exhibition.Born out of Flinders University and spearheaded by radical thinkers Brian Medlin and Ann Newmarch, PAM (Progressive Art Movement) united artists, writers, poets, filmmakers, actors and musicians determined to cultivate a politically progressive culture rooted in local issues, while vehemently opposing US imperialism.At this time, Flinders University itself was a hotbed of activism with students staging a month-long occupation of the Registry Building during the year of PAM’s inception. Meanwhile, industrial unrest at the nearby Chrysler factory flowed over to students in the Worker-Student Alliance, who handed out leaflets at the factory gates in support of blue collar workers demanding better working conditions.Five decades on, guest curators Catherine Speck and Jude Adams tell PAM’s little-remembered story. They bring together iconic posters and prints by celebrated artists Ann Newmarch, Mandy Martin, Robert Boynes and others, whose work spread messages of community action, resistance and solidarity.Following the FUMA tour of the exhibition, Early Years graduates and their guests will enjoy a light lunch held in the Alere Function Centre to allow time to catch up with fellow alumni and reminisce about your time at Flinders.Your booking will include the following:<ul><li>Private FUMA exhibition tour with FUMA Director, Fiona Salmon</li><li>Light three-course lunch including - antipasto starter, savoury pastries and petit fours.</li><li>Welcome drink on arrival, and complimentary tea and coffee.</li><li>A cash bar will be available for beer, wine and soft drinks.</li></ul>Special dietary and other requirements can be accommodated. <a href="https://www.flinders.edu.au/museum-of-art/exhibitions/if-you-dont-fight-you-lose" title="https://www.flinders.edu.au/museum-of-art/exhibitions/if-you-dont-fight-you-lose" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">If you don’t fight … you lose: politics, posters and PAM</a>6 May – 5 July Flinders University Museum of Art Ground Floor Social Sciences North building Flinders University, Bedford Park, SA, 5042
