Denni
Proud Truwulway woman and multi-disciplinary artist, DENNI. A true voice of strength for her people in Lutruwita Tasmania and one of Australia’s most authentic and compelling rising storytellers and recording artists.
DENNI is a true pioneer and has been at the forefront of sharing her pakana/palawa culture and language in contemporary music, representing First Nations, with anthems like ‘Strongest Mob’ and ‘Lutruwita’, and introducing palawa kani (Tasmanian Aboriginal Language) to a new generation.
Exhibitions
Memories through Sea Stories: Rex Greeno’s first major solo exhibition in 40 years. An exhibition of works by Tasmanian Aboriginal Elder Rex Greeno – artist, fisherman, and maker of tuylini, ninga and pyerre (Tasmanian Aboriginal bark and reed canoes) – that tells a story of deep connection to culture, family and the sea.
On Island: Contemporary art from the TMAG collection. On Flinders Island in northeast Tasmania, On Island means that you are literally on the island. Its opposite, off island, suggests that you could be anywhere else—whether Launceston or New York, the distance is irrelevant. These expressions are part of everyday conversations about the movement of the small community and reflect the centrality of the island.
Written in Wood: Sculptural pieces by Kevin Perkins based on Richard Flanagan’s novels. Written in Wood; Kevin Perkins inspired by Richard Flanagan, features five monumental sculptural pieces by Tasmanian artist, master furniture-maker and wood craftsman, Kevin Perkins. Each work is based on a novel by the acclaimed Tasmanian writer, Richard Flanagan; Death of a River Guide (1994), The Sound of One Hand Clapping (1997), Gould’s Book of Fish (2001), Wanting (2008), and his most recent work, Question 7 (2023).
