The rana, payngana paliti rrala (Strong in Body, Mind and Spirit) Program is designed to meet the social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing needs of Aboriginal community members. Over the past few years, the program has hosted over 150 activities and workshops across the state, many at piyura kitina/Risdon Cove. Workshops have included different artform focuses, as well as learning cultural practices on country. The program has also included workshops facilitated by well-known Aboriginal artists including Janice Ross, Allan Mansell and Rod Gardner who have taught various artforms and shared their skills and passion for art.

The exhibition rana, payngana paliti rrala (Strong in Body, Mind and Spirit) will showcase artwork created by community members across nipaluna/ Hobart in a broad range of artforms and mediums. For many of the artists included in the exhibition this is their first-time creating art. This exhibition celebrates their creative journeys and their individual and collective success.

We will be launching this exhibition at MAC on Friday 5 May from 7.30-9.30pm. We invite the community to attend the show and enjoy a special co-hosted Silent Disco featuring three local DJs (FREE EVENT).
