The City of Hobart is proud to present Be Seen, By Choice: Experience InvisAbility in a Whole New Light, a powerful and playful art exhibition celebrating inclusion, access, and diversity through more than 400 individual portraits.
Started in 2013, this year's Ability to Create program invites the community to experience disability in a whole new light.
As part of the exhibition, the Hobart Town Hall Ballroom has been transformed into a sensory wonderland of projection, soundscapes, and visual storytelling.
Outside, the Town Hall façade has been illuminated with a magical snowfall effect – a whimsical nod to Christmas in July.
Guided by mentor artists Lorenz Cherry, Jude Elliot, and Cary Littleford, the exhibition showcases portraits created by all ability artists, each one a unique expression of identity and imagination.
The exhibition also includes a silent disco with the Kombi Krew, meditation and sensory workshops, live performances and artist Q&As, a winter wonderland installation, and short films and interactive spaces.
Whether dancing under the lights or sitting in stillness with a soundscape, Be Seen, By Choice offers something for every kind of imagination.
This free event is an initiative of the City of Hobart, in partnership with Arts Tasmania, community organisations, and all ability artists.
