Faces of the Huon

Faces of the Huon is a community arts project that aims to uncover and celebrate stories of diversity and harmony in the southernmost part of Tasmania.

Created for Harmony Week (15–21 March) as part of the Huon Beings digital arts program, the exhibition is the culmination of a series of interviews with local residents from a variety of backgrounds.

The collection of intimate portraits and musings captured by Tasmania-based artist and photographer Andrew Wilson are an invitation to think and talk about what it means to be part of a community. The exhibition opens at 10am on Saturday 21 March and will remain on show for four weeks.

Follow Huon Beings on Instagram to view the artworks digitally and uncover more stories from residents throughout the Valley.

Funding for this project comes from the State Government Multicultural Grants Program.

“If you compare the two places, in the end you can say it’s probably better here. The list will go on forever. You can say, ‘Italy is better because… or, Franklin is better because…’ as there are so many reasons. The fact is that life here is much easier, less stressful. Here, you are free to do whatever you want. Can I start a business? And yes of course you can, you’ll be fine.” Martino Crippa #huonbeings #harmonyweek
