Nans of Canberra: Preserving Our Grandmothers' Stories
'Nans of Canberra: Preserving Our Grandmothers Stories,' is a printed magazine, which tells the true stories of Canberra grandmothers through written and photographic pieces. Initially inspired by the stories of her own grandmother, Joanna-Marie Davey has documented the past and present oral histories of Canberran women through formulated processes, experimentation and substantial interviews. Through this feminist-revised work, Joanna ultimately aims to give voices to these women, highlighting a previously unheard counter-narrative to the generally male dominated histories of Canberra.
