First Thursdays: Hannah Brontë

Overview

On the first Thursday of every month, the Institute of Modern Art has started staying up late, opening its doors to an array of artists and throwing a free shindig. Come May 4, it's Hannah Brontë's turn to lead the fun. Stepping into a diamante-encrusted, neon-lit artistic wonderland is one of the things on the agenda.

At First Thursdays' May edition, the Brisbane-based interdisciplinary artist doesn't just want to put on a show — she wants you to be part of it. Her piece is called The Venus Fly Trap, and she'll be staging a live music video. Prepare to become a performer and play a role in the final artwork.

It all ties into Brontë's continue her exploration of female empowerment, challenging current societal structures and painting a picture of matriarchal futures, aka just what every Thursday should offer. She'll be joined by female rappers Jesswar, Miss Blanks, G Eleni, Aywin and Kaylah Truth, as well as DJ Damelia spinning tunes.
