Uniting like-minded people and citizens at New Holland Island has always been an important objective of the project, along with the restoration of buildings and the development of the area. The events of recent years have once again reminded us how important it is not to lose touch with the loved ones, to support each other and to spend time together.

Members of New Holland Island's creative team (curators, designers, editors, and other key contributors to the project) will be on duty at the Community Center each day, so that the guests can personally approach with their ideas.
