  • An indigenous reservation in the colony of Victoria, Australia, the Coranderrk Aboriginal Station was a major site of cross-cultural contact the mid-nineteenth century and early twentieth. Coranderrk was located just outside Melbourne, and from its opening in the 1860s the colonial government commissioned many photographs of its Aboriginal residents.The photographs taken at Coranderrk Station circulated across the western world; they were mounted in exhibition displays and classified among other ethnographic “data” within museum collections
  • The immense Coranderrk photographic archive is the subject of this detailed, richly illustrated examination of the role of visual imagery in the colonial project. Offering close readings of the photographs in the context of Australian history and nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century photographic practice, Jane Lydon reveals how western society came to understand Aboriginal people through these images
  • At the same time, she demonstrates that the photos were not solely a tool of colonial exploitation. The residents of Coranderrk had a sophisticated understanding of how they were portrayed, and they became adept at manipulating their representations
  • Lydon shows how the photographic portrayals of the Aboriginal residents of Coranderrk changed over time, reflecting various ideas of the colonial mission—from humanitarianism to control to assimilation. In the early twentieth century, the images were used on stereotypical postcards circulated among the white population, showing what appeared to be compliant, transformed Aboriginal subjects. The station closed in 1924 and disappeared from public view until it was rediscovered by scholars years later. Aboriginal Australians purchased the station in 1998, and, as Lydon describes, today they are using the Coranderrk photographic archive in new ways, to identify family members and tell stories of their own

Moisturizer type 4 hair
Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This oil provided my type 4 hair a lot of moisture. The texture of this product is moist. It worked for me when I needed the extra moisture to pull back my hair or to stretch my hair prior to twisting or braiding. I used it about 3 times a week. I’ve had it a months and I still have almost 1/2 a jar left. If you are looking for shine, this one provided shine but only after I brushed it. Overtime it helped my hair be easier to work with. The smell is okay - nothing overbearing that interfered with my own perfume. Look at the picture and you can see that it came sealed very well. Buy it and see for yourself how great it is.

Very good, helps with pcos acne and dark spots
I have pcos, so my acne and dark marks from acne can get pretty severe, in one use there was a visible change. It doesn't have an intense fragrance. It doesn't make my skin feel heavy, sticky, or greasy. My skin feels healthier and holds moisture better. It has a good amount of product in each container. I'd say its definitely got a good amount of value for the money.

Good Molecule
I tried their one product once and it was very good, so when I saw the set range - I definitely had to get it. A great set introduction to this line of brand. It’s light, it works and the price bracket is friendly on your wallet.

Hydrated & Bright: My Good Molecules Review
​I recently overhauled my daily skincare routine with a full lineup from Good Molecules, and the results have been nothing short of wonderful. I've been consistently using their cleanser, toner, hyaluronic acid, Wakeup Eye Gel, and daily moisturizer, and my face has completely transformed. Overall, my skin feels incredibly soft, looks noticeably brighter, and stays perfectly moisturized all day long.
