​

Kindred is a collaborative arts project, which centres the practices of Aboriginal and culturally diverse artists and practitioners from across the island of lutruwita.

​

Kindred has four intertwining parts, which act to explore and critique the effectiveness of initiatives like Harmony Week in creating community connection and celebrating cultural diversity in contemporary Australia:

• An exhibition of new work from Tasmanian artists from the Aboriginal and CALD communities created in response to prompts about harmony and multiculturalism,

• an interactive, collaborative community artwork,

• a public program of creative skill exchange workshops facilitated by local artists and creatives, and

• a public mural.

Kindred seeks to expand our collective knowledge; to recognise and value the differences that we each have while celebrating the thread that unifies us.
