ABORIGINAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS + ARTISTS FROM NIPALUNA/HOBART

Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre

EXHIBIT: FRIDAY 5 MAY – SATURDAY 3 JUNE rana, payngana paliti rrala (Strong in Body, Mind and Spirit) showcases artwork created by Aboriginal community members and artists across nipaluna/ Hobart in a broad range of artforms and mediums.

These artworks were created during art workshops as part of the rana, payngana paliti rrala (Strong in Body, Mind and Spirit) program facilitated by the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre. Workshops have included different artform focuses, as well as learning cultural practices on country. The program also included workshops facilitated by well-known Aboriginal artists including Janice Ross, Allan Mansell and Rod Gardner who have shared their skills and passion for art. For many of the artists included in the exhibition, this is their first time creating art. This exhibition celebrates their creative journeys and their individual and collective success.

We will be launching this exhibition at MAC on Friday 5 May from 7.30-9.30pm. We invite the community to attend the show and enjoy a special co-hosted Silent Disco featuring three local DJs (FREE EVENT).
