About the artwork:
The Carnival, City Park
There were several creative and charitable collaborations between the Chinese and Tasmanian communities over a ten-year period (1885-1895). Six artistic events were created in Launceston for the fiscal benefit of its community.
Illuminations, fireworks and flotillas were held in the majestic beauty of the First Basin, Cataract Gorge and Kings Bridge. Processions, opera, acrobatics and fireworks were held in City Park, showcasing the splendour of the architecture of the Albert Hall and the John Hart Conservatory.
About The Celestials collection:
The Chinese community were amongst some of the first pioneers to settle in the North East of Tasmania. This collection acknowledges the Chinese people, connections, events and cultural heritage, all set within the beautiful Tasmanian landscape.
