The 1970's heritage bus used in this experience is an integral part of the artist's work. However unlike a contemporary bus, this heritage vehicle is not wheelchair accessible. All other elements of the artist's work inside TMAG are fully accessible.
Outside of these events, Suburban Songlines is available as a static display inside TMAG in The Link building. Large screen display of this work will also be available on the SOAPBOX billboards located at Mathers Place: in Criterion Lane, on the rear wall of the State Library and on the side of the Playhouse Theatre.
Hobart Current is an innovative partnership between TMAG and the City of Hobart.
