In 2014, I met a young West Australian curator at a conference. We were chatting about the day, about art, history and W.A. I mentioned the 'Feminisms' exhibition that had been held at PICA in 1992; she said she wasn't aware of it. I came away wondering about where the histories and documentation of such events end up, and how we can pass on these histories to younger artists and curators.
