Nimbinnovations: Living the Dream

'Nimbinnovations: Living the Dream'

Southern Cross University Library and the Aquarian Archive have worked together to present a unique tribute to the 40th Anniversary of the 1973 Nimbin Aquarius Festival.

'Nimbinnovations: Living the Dream' will celebrate 18 innovations that the 1973 Nimbin Aquarius Festival pioneered: from natural childbirth to recycling and from home building to renewable energy.

The exhibition, on display in the SCU Library Lismore from Wednesday May 15, comprises banners, posters, photographs, documents and other memorabilia.

The curator is Dr Graham Irvine, one of the co-founders of the Aquarian Archive. The Aquarian Archive is a history of alternative communities in the Northern Rivers in the wake of the 1973 Nimbin Aquarius Festival.

The SCU Library Lismore is open from Monday – Thursday 8am to 9pm, Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday and Sunday 1 – 5pm.
