Tasmania JackJumpers 24/25 Youth Indigenous Jersey - Other Players

Artist: Caleb Nichols-Mansell

He is a proud Tasmanian Aborginal man with deep connections to country, community, culture and spirit which all inform his practice and process as an artist and leader.

Caleb Nichols-Mansell is an early career mixed-media artist, and the founder of Blackspace Creative Arts and Cultural hub.

Caleb has an extensive portfolio in graphic design and digital art, and has been commissioned by several leading institutes and organisations both within the state and nationally. He is beginning to experiment with large scale festival and public art installations as well as site responsive works, which have been commissioned by Yirramboi, Dark Mofo and Junction Arts Festival.

His artwork aims to generate conversation and evoke deep thinking, whilst providing viewers with an intimate look at what it means to be a Tasmanian Aboriginal man in modern day Tasmania.

Jersey Design:

The design is about the Tasmanian Aboriginal community and the connection to the island.

The centre of the design and present on all panels of the jersey, are nine circular motifs which represent the nine nations that made up Iutruwita/Tasmania. The nine nations lived on, cared for and practiced culture on these lands and the Palawa community continue this today.

The JackJumpers will wear these nine nations on their front as a reminder of the leaders we were, and still are, on their backs as a reminder of the past and deep time connection we hold, and on their sides as a reminder we walk side by side. The salt water wraps around their bodies just as it does in the ocean.
