Dr Sylvia Martin and Jeff Sparrow in conversation — Readings Books

We are delighted to have Jeff Sparrow join Dr Sylvia Martin in conversation about her joint biography, Double Act.

In Double Act, Sylvia Martin delves deeper into the unconventional lives of two of Australia's prominent female artists. Turning a queer lens on Eirene Mort and Nora Kate Weston, Martin explores the deep and enduring relationship that underpinned their public creative partnership for over 60 years.

Eirene Mort (18791977) and Nora Kate Weston (18801965) were dynamic 'New Women' who made valuable contributions to art in Australia, challenged gender conventions and were determined to be recognised as professional artists in spite of the societal conventions of the time.
