This year, Tango will also work with communities in Victoria to create a Healing Garden, as well as doing a major work to help engage children with specific needs at the National Gallery of Singapore. Tango's curiosity, art-making and interest in physical health and nature all combined in a recent, enormous commissioned artwork, GARDEN | HEALING TOGETHER, at the new Tweed Valley Hospital. More than 500 community members participated in its creation over three years, including coming together in workshops to create the "seedlings" and "berries" woven from fabric.
