This banner is part of the museum's Community Banners project, 'Memories and Dreams'. It is symbolic of Baltic immigrants' experiences in South Australia.
The fir trees represent the Baltic landscape. The faces symbolise the women of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. They are set against a combination of the national colours of the three states. This central image highlights the individuality of the Baltic States, while stressing the essential unity in the region.
The Jubilee 150 logo honours South Australia’s sesquicentenary. It symbolises the link between the old culture and the experience of Baltic women in their new land.
You are all set!
Your first Culture Weekly will arrive this week.
