Here: a time and place of convergence.
Centring time, care and dialogue, Hobart Current: Here brings together 10 artists based in Lutruwita.
Each work is grounded in and from place yet branches outward, as a reflection on how we live, exchange and imagine in an era of fragmentation.
You are invited to linger in conversation with the works – to pause, to listen, to question – activating ‘here’ in your own way.

The theme for Hobart Current 2025 is Here.
Co-creative Directors Travis Tiddy and Denise Robinson say their rationale for Hobart Current: Here "invites artists and audiences to reflect on what it means to be 'here' in this time and place. It is a multidimensional program which brings together diverse perspectives about who we are in this moment, globally and in Lutruwita/Tasmania."
"'Here' often slips into conversation to mark our movements – 'I'm here now', 'get out of here', or 'nice to be here'. In its simplicity it connects people and place. In contrast, 'we are here' asserts presence, while 'the here and now' emphasises the importance of a moment."
"At this time and place, Hobart Current: Here encourages artists to explore what 'here' means to them, through curiosity, experimentation and collaboration, with process and gathering being just as vital as the final work."
