For the very first-time images of what the Eureka Rebellion may have looked like have been created using artificial intelligence.
In a partnership between Eureka Australia Magazine and creative content agency Absolutely AI the images are designed to make history more accessible and re-ignite interest in the stockade.
Photography wasn’t available in 1854.
Eureka descendent and editor of the magazine Marianne Messer says the rebellion ensured we can all have a voice to this very day.
“I think if they know the story of what happened at Eureka, they’ll get it and they’ll want to be champions of our democracy and be more involved.”
“And perhaps also more appreciative of what was done so we can all have a voice,” Ms. Messer said.
The story of the Eureka Stockade at Ballarat is a pivotal chapter in the history of Australia’s fight for democracy and civil liberties.
It symbolises the struggle for fairness, representation, and the right to participate in the political process.
