I Am Brisbane

Overview

What would the annual Brisbane Festival be without a visual arts celebration of the city the event calls home? And what would a showcase of all that's great about Brisbane be without input from those who live here and know it?

Decking out the shopfront of the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts as well as select GOA billboards across town, I Am Brisbane hits both marks, after asking the general public to take a portrait reflective of someone they felt best epitomises Brisbane. The top 30 entries — 15 from schools, 15 in the open category — comprise an exhibition that surveys the city, its people and the many perspectives that stem from both.
