The process of creating ‘When Tilba Calls’ allowed me to reflect on the impact and value of our shared history. I emersed myself in reading about the history of Tilba, explored the area in person and through the lens of photographers past and present. I realised that this hall, is far more than the building itself, it reflects the building of community, culture and connection through shared experiences bringing a strong sense of place. It is our shared experiences that unites us. Our history forms us but doesn’t need to define us. History is important to know, to learn from, a foundation to build from to create new possibilities. We are not our history; we are who we are becoming.
