Event Duration: 150 minutes

Fred Smith presents Peace in the Pacific - a concert to mark the tenth anniversary of the withdrawal of the Peace Monitoring Group in Bougainville and the commencement of Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI).  

Peace in the Pacific combines projected photographs from the islands by amateur and professional photographers with songs from the award winning CD Bagarap Empires.  The album was described by David Bridie as “one of the great Australian records”, and in the Canadian press as “an amazing piece of work chronicling a period in a peoples’ history that few of us know anything about.”

Peace in the Pacific explores the beauty, turmoil and complexity of the Islands, and the role played by Australians in bringing them back from the brink.

DOORS AT 8.00PM
