Bending Branches

with Karadi Men’s Shed

Exhibition dates: Friday 21 March – Saturday 5 April

Bending Branches is an installation created by members of the Karadi Men’s Shed, reflecting themes of home, family, Country and community.

This work shares the stories of these men’s lives, growing up on the islands of Lutruwita (Tasmania). Drawing inspiration from the diverse landscapes of their homeland, the installation incorporates materials gathered from across the region — stretching from Truwana (Cape Barren Island) in the east, to the rugged coast of Macquarie Harbour in the west. From the southern shores near Dover to the northern tip of Luemerrernanner (Cape Portland).

The installation is deeply personal to the men who have created it, representing a heartfelt expression of their story and heritage.

This project is proudly produced by the Karadi Men’s Shed, with support from Karadi Aboriginal Corporation and Moonah Arts Centre.
