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.

“…astonishing power and convulsive impact.” – Sydney Morning Herald

Enjoy a peaceful ride as Hamed Sadeghi takes us on a continuous journey to Iran through the Persian classical repertoire known as Radif and improvisation. While creating new sounds, Sadeghi honours the traditional ones to narrate the stories of an ancient civilisation.

He says, “it is all about a blank page with a lot of ideas in my head. Everything forms around nothingness but on a solid foundation. Persian Radif is my foundation and improvisation is my nothingness”.

The Radif is a collection of old melodies that have been handed down by the masters to students through the generations. The foundation of the Iranian traditional music is based on this repertoire and musicians in this system need to spend years to learn the Radif properly to become capable of improvising and composing new music.
