Snapshot
Brisbane Powerhouse’s facade becomes a time capsule of lockdown life for local artists.
Overview
Leah Shelton and Lisa Fa'alafi of Brisbane collective Polytoxic asked more than 100 Queensland artists to send them their memories of lockdown life, from apartment block isolation to endless Zoom calls. Polytoxic has then taken those reflections and weaved them into a full-scale visual tapestry that'll be projected onto the 20-metre-high walls of Brisbane Powerhouse. The 'time capsule' of what we're living through right now tells the stories of those within the arts industry — including musicians, writers, poets, dancers and artists. And the beautiful projection work and accompanying soundscape is experienced alongside live performances. It's free to watch, and each performance lasts for 30 minutes. Head to the Powerhouse before 6.30pm or 8.30pm, Thursday to Saturday nights.
