Peace Within is a mixed media artwork created by the Shrineโ€™s Young Ambassadors with guidance from our 2025 artist-in-residence, Kat Rae.

Bringing together papier-mรขchรฉ, printmaking and a quilt gifted to Kat during her military service, the artwork reflects on the impact of war on families, the people left behind and the process of rebuilding through care and connection. ๐Ÿงก

Created over six days, the project brought students together with artists, veterans and community organisations. As Young Ambassador Elizabeth reflected, โ€œThe project is a beautiful way to reflect on living commemoration.โ€

In April 1941, Australian and New Zealand troops fought a series of desperate delaying actions during the Allied withdrawal through Greece. At Thermopylae and nearby Brallos Pass, they defended ground already indelibly associated with one of the most famous last stands of the ancient world.

But what happens to a battle after the fighting ends? Who remembers it, how is its story passed on, and why do some places and events acquire meanings that endure across generations?

Join us for a special afternoon discussing the history and legacy of the 1941 Greek campaign. Tickets via the link in our comments ๐Ÿ”—
