Harvest times have punctuated the agricultural calendar through generations, creating an essential rhythm to which people’s lives have followed. In Northern Tasmania, these agricultural seasons continue to be present in everyday life, providing livelihoods and sustenance for many locals. The agricultural landscape is a part of our cultural identity, and the harvest is visible and present to everyone.
The story of harvest is told through the historic Robinson Collection of photographic negatives, and contemporary Tasmanian artists alongside a collaborative installation between community and growers.
Featuring new work by Chloe Bonney, loaned works by Susan Simonini, Stephanie Tabram, and Molly Turner, and Permanent Collection works from artists including Patrick Grieve, Owen Lade, and the Robinson Collection.
