Surf City Blog: Surfing Sydney in the 50s, 60s and 70s
Sept
A blog from the curator of Surf City.
Surf City will track Sydney’s dynamic surf scene through the 50s, 60s and 70s: spanning an amazing period of social upheaval, post war optimism, teen angst, rock and roll, prosperity, drugs, travel and cars.
We'll look at surfers, movers and shapers who stirred the pot during these vivid and volatile years along with the kind of stuff surf-crazed Sydneysiders wore, watched, made, rode, heard and read.
We’ll also show how surfing changed Sydney. The exhibition will contain boards, movies, photos, magazines, music, clothes and surfing treasures. So watch out for the show, coming to the Museum of Sydney in September 2011.
