Community and creative practice: the mess and the thrill of collaboration

This episode of What Are You Looking At? is a table conversation with Jade Lillie, Andy Hutson and Aunty Cheryl Mundy Trimanya, reflecting on collaboration and community engaged practice.

Andy Hutson is a visual artist based in Nipaluna/Hobart and is the lead initiator and artist for the project Apologue Isle, which first exhibited at Contemporary Art Tasmania in 2024 and is, at the time of the episode release, showing at Burnie Regional Gallery.

Aunty Cheryl Mundy Trimanya is a singer/songwriter, cultural educator, sculptor, and poet and is one of 34 collaborators on Apologue Isle as a set designer and maker and narrator for the piece The Sun, the Moon and the Caterpillar. 

Jade Lillie commissioned and curated ‘The Relationship is the Project’ — a resource book which has 40 different lived experience practitioners contributing insights about community engaged practice.

This episode is hosted and produced by Sharifah Emalia Al-Gadrie. What Are You Looking At? is presented by Contemporary Art Tasmania
