The launch will be followed by a hands-on cultural printmaking session with Allan Mansell, the Tasmanian Aboriginal artist featured in the Aboriginal Commitment and Action Plan.

All are welcome to stay for this session, between 12 pm and 1 pm.

About the project

In 2019 the City of Hobart began the process of updating the outdated Aboriginal Strategy 2002 with a new framework and action plan, designed to drive the City’s work in Aboriginal Programs, both internally and in communities in which we operate. The year-long project was guided by Aboriginal people, City of Hobart employees and the broader Hobart community. Findings from conversations were profound and informed the structure and content of the plan. Commitments and actions in the new plan will assist the City of Hobart to reflect upon its history, deepen relationships and lay the foundations for strong actions into the future.
