GOA Billboards Exhibition

Overview

The problem is, with technology these days, all your friends are ‘photographers’ because they can afford cameras, or at least iPhones. But that’s like saying all your friends are ‘guitarists’ just cause they can play Wonderwall. The point is, neither of these two artforms should be archived away because lots of people are trying their best to ruin them. Long story short, amongst scrums of Instagramers there are still some very talented photographers out there, and some of them are emerging out of their dark rooms to show off during the Brisbane Festival's GOA Billboards Exhibition.

The location to splurge on this talent is the Judith Wright Centre’s Shopfront, a more than fitting space to pay homage to some of Brisbane's brightest photographers and their art. In this context, those to be splurged on are a bunch of incredibly talented highschool students who were challenged to capture Brisbane’s beauty from as many fun angles with as much flare as possible under the theme Brisbane Parks: Garden Cities and Urban Jungles. Curator Henri Van Noordenburg picked the best ones and put them in a room, the afore mentioned Judith Wright Centre.

You've the freedom to enter this room from 10am to 4pm from the 17th to 28th of September. And it's free!
