This book brings together more than 60 community responses to Make or Break’s monuments survey as part of Unveilings for the inaugural Kyneton Contemporary Art Triennial.

For ten days in 2018, Make or Break asked female-identifying people in the Victorian town of Kyneton to propose a public artwork, monument or memorial for the town via an anonymous paper survey. The surveys were collected and displayed in a main street shop window, together with a series of live ‘unveiling' performances at secret locations around the town. 

This 88 page limited edition book, published by Ruin Press, documents Unveilings and features a compilation of all the surveys submitted, beautifully reproduced alongside a text by the artists and photographs of the project and performances. Unveilings was made in Kyneton on Taungurung Country, DjadjaWurrung Country and Wurundjeri Country in the Kulin Nation.

To All the Women of Kyneton was launched in Kyneton in 2019, and on Gadigal-Wangal land at Frontyard Projects in Marrickville, Sydney.
