- This is the first major study of a significant shift in memorial practice, towards the remembrance of experience and an expansion of the concepts of grief and loss beyond death. Research began in 2013. It traces a history of memorial practice in Australia from the mid-1980s to 2015, drawing on a range of primary sources including photographs, heritage records, artist/architectural plans and government reports. 40 oral history interviews were conducted with ‘memory activists’, artists and government officials involved in the creation of the memorials, with five in-depth case studies exploring the aims and evolution of memorial projects.
