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:

Sea of Light entwines light and sound to conjure an enchanted sea adventure for the whole family.

With a UV torch in hand, set sail across a sea to paint your very own voyage in light. Steer ships that leave glowing paths in their wake.

As you explore Sea of Light, artworks by contemporary Aboriginal visual artist, Elizabeth Close, are painted in light across the sea floor. These paintings speak to the connection between land and sea, the earth and waterways and reflect the deep relationship that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have with Country.

This spellbinding interactive installation carries adventurers on a journey across a fun-filled room at HIVE Tasmania – a major new cultural precinct packed with science and culture in a stunning building in the heart of Ulverstone.

Sea of Light is an extraordinary play space for families to enjoy a shimmering sea journey of light and wonder together. Come aboard!
