Who we are
Tasminé started as a small social group on Facebook of like-minded individuals who wanted to find connections and make long term friendships. Over the course of a year it grew quickly to seven hundred members, proving that throughout the state of Tasmania, there were plenty of people who needed something like this.
Many of the friendships that we ourselves have made were forged at events or meetups celebrating the arts, gaming, cosplay, pop culture, and anime. And with over 15 combined years of experience in the industry, the heads behind Tasminé aim to bring new and exciting events to the youth of Tasmania so that they too can have the chance to celebrate their love for fandom, creativity and unity while making connections and friendships that will last a lifetime.
Personal Mission
Tasmania or lutruwita is a beautiful state situated under the mainland of Australia, but as a state we are often overlooked when it comes to larger scale events suited to our younger demographics.
In Tasmania, our youth suffers greatly from mental health issues, with a higher national average in teen suicide (ABS 2022). It is our personal belief that through creating spaces where likeminded individuals can meet and foster friendships and connections, we can help to avoid feelings of teen loneliness, and to empower our youth to engage with their creativity and passions.
Our personal mission in starting this project was to see those events that would embody this ideal put on with quality, consistency, and professionalism.
