The Event, the Building, the Legacy The Jubilee Exhibition took place at a time when South Australia was experiencing the effects of the economic depression that would take hold internationally from about 1890. The Exhibition was 'a brave attempt' to pull the colony out of a depression by harnessing the power of positive thinking. Talking History presented, in April 2017, a panel inviting speakers to discuss Adelaide's Jubilee International Exhibition 1887-1888. The panel included: Assoc. Prof Christine Garnaut, Dr Julie Collins, Tom Gara, & Richard Venus. Each explored the topic from a different angle and area of expertise. This free public lecture was part of the History Trust of South Australia's Talking History series. For upcoming events visit: history.sa.gov.au/whats-on/events/
