Curator + Artist + Community Conversations: QVMAG attendants & LIMA

In celebration of the reinterpretation of the main gallery, join QVMAG and the Launceston Improvised Music Association (LIMA) as we create music in response to works on display.

The new permanent galleries seek to create a space for reconciliation. It aims to change the colonial narrative that has dominated Tasmanian Galleries since the 19th century.

The reinterpretation of the QVMAG’s collection reflects our histories, identities and stories in a fresh and contemporary context.

Focusing on local Aboriginal cultures, colonial history and modern diversity, this exhibition encourages us to contemplate the ever-changing cultural landscape and our sense of belonging within it.

About the event

As music begins to fill the gallery you'll hear from QVMAG staff about what this change has meant to them, their favourite works on display, and how the reinterpretation of this space has strengthened their sense of belonging to place.

Join us for an interactive and immersive afternoon at the Art Gallery at Royal Park.
