In recent years, Island has not published many themed issues, but we couldn’t resist getting swept up in Tempest, a major exhibition at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery , sprung from the imagination of internationally recognised curator Juliana Engberg, supported by Detached, and part of the Dark Mofo 2016 festival.
It’s also apt to celebrate Shakespeare’s much-loved play 400 years since the death of the Bard.
Island 146 is packed with beauty, in the quality of the writing, the artworks from the TMAG exhibition, other excellent Tasmanian contemporary artworks and photographs, and the superb publication design by Tasmanian design studio Futago.
Through essays, stories, poems and art, we explore wild weather and climate change; our impacts on the natural world; discovery and representation of landscapes; the pressing global issues of migration and exile; and the many ‘tempests’ within our own discords and internal states.
