Stunning performance By Dongyun Kwon Healesville wrapped up the celebration of National Reconciliation Week with a special event in The Memo. The event Now More Than Ever was held on Wednesday 5 June with a variety of performances, presentations and a discussion showing the culture of First People and discussing the meaning of reconciliation. Djirri Djirri dancers, a speaker from the Yoorrook Justice Commission, a Didgeridoo performer and Na Djinang Circus were invited to the event to be on the stage. The name of the event is named after the theme of this year’s National Reconciliation Week, Now More Than Ever. Turn to page 17 for more

Passion for arts By Dongyun Kwon Tarrawarra Museum of Art chairman Daniel Benjamin Besen was honoured to receive a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in the General Division on King’s Birthday for his significant service to the arts and philanthropy. Mr Besen is the son of the founder of TarraWarra Estate, the late Marc Besen.
His passion for art led him to be the chairman of the Tarrawarra Museum of Art. He said when his father asked him to chair the TarraWarra Museum of Art, he felt an enormous sense of gratitude and pride, holding the legacy of the extraordinary museum for his parents into the future. “I have been involved since its inception
and watched with wonder and awe as the community of friends, visitors, curators, artists, exhibitions and installations has grown and evolved,” Mr Besen said. “I would like to express my deep admiration, respect and appreciation to the two directors of TarraWarra Museum, the inaugural director Maudie Palmer and the current direc-
tor Victoria Lynn. “Maudie and Victoria have created programs which have built so harmoniously on the foundation of the museum, the gift of my parents’ extraordinary collection. The museum is truly inspiring, a place where art, place and ideas flourish.“ Full story page 8
