Hobart Current: Epoch is a thought-provoking contemporary program and exhibition, featuring new works created by 10 artists in response to the theme of ‘epoch’.

Curated by Creative Director Chris Twite, Hobart Current: Epoch features local and international artists whose works span visual art, performance, music, film, and poetry, with six works to be exhibited at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG), and three public artworks across the Hobart CBD – please see the map for directions. The exhibition is complemented by a public program.
