Snowmaggedon: The Penguins of Antarctica

By on June 17, 2018 in

Navigating the perilous waters of the Caribbean, it is just another ordinary day of seafaring and skulduggery for the crew of the good ship HMS Griselda. Until, that is, they stumble across a very lost penguin called Burt.

Presented by the zany team at Heapsgood Productions, ‘Snowmageddon: The Penguins of Antarctica’ takes you on a voyage to one of the coldest and darkest places on Earth. Join our swashbuckling pirates as they head due South to discover the true meaning of friendship and what it means to help someone just because you can.

Our chilly children’s performance is part of Our Port Winterfest. See the show, explore the museum and then head over to Harts Mill for more winter warming wonder including workshops, music and food.

The coup and the struggle for democratisation in Zimbabwe: Challenges, Prospects and Lessons

By on April 17, 2018 in

It’s been four months since one of the world’s longest-serving dictators was forced out of power. Robert Mugabe dramatically left office in what was essentially a military coup albeit couched in popular protests. The unique political ‘transition’ that happened in Zimbabwe offers a great opportunity to re-look into the democratisation debate in Africa. This talk discusses the challenges, prospects, and lessons for Zimbabwe’s democratisation in the context of the November coup.

Edson Ziso is a Visiting Research Fellow, in the Dept. of Politics & International Studies, School of Social Sciences, Faculty of Arts at the University of Adelaide. His research focuses on Australia-Africa and China-Africa relations, South-South cooperation, global governance and Zimbabwean politics.
