Tin Camp is a pop-up space constructed from salvaged materials, modelled on the typical Aboriginal-built tin camps found at the edge of countless Australian townships from the 1950s to today. Constructed by Tin Camp Studio founder and proud Yuwaalaraay man Warren Mason as a place for performance, music, storytelling, healing and recording.

“Tin Camp explores my own personal story of the camp on the outskirts of my home town of Goodooga NSW. We were the first Aboriginal family allowed to live inside the township itself, The existence and disconnect from the camp was central to the formation of my identity and all the questions that go with it. That of never belonging in either place.”
– Warren Mason, Tin Camp Founder and Host
Tin Camp is a first nations-led project developed by Warren Mason and supported by Kath Melbourne. It is presented by Contemporary Art Tasmania and MONA FOMA.
