Every part of Australia is,
always was and always will be,
Aboriginal land.

As a community gathering-place, a festival of arts, cultural exchange and celebration and as a site for the sharing of ideas and stories, Ten Days on the Island pays respect to the Palawa/Tasmanian Aborigines – The original owners and cultural custodians - of all the lands and waters across Lutruwita/Tasmania upon which our Festival takes place.

With thanks to the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre for place names and other words in palawa kani, the language of Tasmanian Aborigines.

Dive into the ocean’s depths on a mesmerising journey – before it’s too late

Filmmaker Lynette Wallworth’s immersive video work for full dome plunges us into the ocean’s abyss to reveal an exquisite and fragile world of fluorescent coral reefs, bioluminescent sea creatures and shimmering marine life – a world fatally threatened by climate change.

Inspired by the international cooperation of 18th Century astronomers to witness the Transit of Venus, Coral: Rekindling Venus weaves together science, imagery and music from global artists including Gurrumul, Anohni and Max Richter to underscore the biodiversity and the fragility of the oceans.

Wallworth’s creation engulfs us with a sense of wonder, a deep longing to protect the coral community, and a vast realisation that the coral’s survival is tied to our own.
