Further information:
"Lewis Carroll's Alice explored and questioned her place within a fantastic world. she was able to confront its bizarre authority at a time when many hundreds of young girls were denied their freedom when they were incarcerated in the old colonial prison, renamed 'Biloela', the Industrial School of Girls on Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour. The 1873 inquiry in 'Biloela' documents self-indicting staff and government authorities accounts of systemic abuse, degradation and neglect of those children, the same failures and punitive methods used then have continued unabated up to the modern day." Sue Anderson and Gwen Harrison This book was featured in the exhibition, 'The Politics of Place.' January 19 – March 30, 2019 at the Center for Book Arts, New York, NY.
