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.

These films go the heart and soul of Shorewell – the people place and culture, bringing a different lens to a successful life in Australia

Award winning Tasmanian filmmaker and photographer Lara van Raay in collaboration with Burnie Community House will premiere two moving portraits of Shorewell residents Brendan Murray and Karen Pettit.

Sharing their stories of struggle and survival, these two well-known locals offer us an insight into their world, sharing with us their struggle while offering a hopeful vision for the future of their community.

Selected works will also be exhibited from Moment Behind the Photo and Dream Box, community-led projects that capture local stories through significant and treasured photos and an exploration of their hopes and dreams.

It has been recognised that we all desire to be somewhere that feels like our place and where we belong, to be respected, cared for, appreciated, understood, valued and accepted.
