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.

We, as well as the venue will be managing the risk of COVID-19 at our event venues in the following ways:

  2. Patrons, staff, volunteers and artists are encouraged not to attend events if they are unwell.

In 1988, a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous printmakers and art organisations from across Australia produced a series of 32 screen-print posters titled Right Here Right Now in response to the nation’s bicentennial festivities.

It provided a strong alternative narrative to the official message of celebration, acutely capturing the state of our nation as it relates to themes including dispossession of Aboriginal people, the environment, demands for justice and land rights. It also provided a powerful message of survival of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. 35 years later in 2023, this significant body of work provides a springboard for a new group of artists to project themselves another 35 years into the future. In 2058, how will we have managed to change the course of our trajectory (or not)?

Out of the Everywhen includes works by artists of the Right Here Right Now series from 1988 alongside works by artists including Michael Cook, Jordan Cowen, Karla Dickens, and Jazz Money.

Associated Talks

OUT OF THE EVERYWHEN – CAPTURING THE STATE OF OUR NATION
11 MAR SAT 3PM
Ian Potter Recital Hall
FREE

If you could look into the future of Australia in 2058, what would you see? What did we get right and what are we still learning, and in what ways have our hubris continued to ignore our future ancestors? In 1988, a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous printmakers and art organisations from across Australia produced a series of 32 screen-print posters titled Right Here Right Now in response to the nation’s bicentennial festivities.

35 years later, another group of artists project themselves into the future and consider how will we have managed to change the course of our trajectory (or not)? Join UTAS Director, Curatorial and Cultural Collections, Caine Chennatt, in conversation with exhibiting artists from Out of the Everywhen to dive deep into art, the history of future possibilities raised in the exhibition, and hope as a muscle.

Speakers include:

Caine Chennatt Associate Director, Cultural Collections, University of Tasmania
