Explore Councils by state
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 will be on show for four weeks from Saturday 21 March.
Follow the @huonbeings Instagram and Council’s Facebook page to experience the stories digitally and use #huonbeings to share your own.
Funding for this project comes from the State Government Multicultural Grants Program.
The Huon Valley Council covers 5497km² and is the southernmost local government area in Australia. While Hobart is just a 30-minute drive away, the area retains the beauty, charm and heritage of a bygone era. The population of the Huon Valley is spread across the five main townships of Huonville, Franklin, Cygnet, Geeveston and Dover.
