Stories You Wear: Magpie Goose Stories You Wear: Magpie Goose — Image: displayed from the Trumba-hosted source ; not copied to or stored on Diony. Event information: Brisbane City Council Open Data . Museum of Brisbane presents an exhibition developed with Magpie Goose, a fashion and social enterprise owned and led by Aboriginal people. The show highlights designs by First Nations artists from Queensland and other regions, using garments as surfaces for cultural narratives. Amanda Hayman of Wakka Wakka and Kalkadoon heritage and Troy Casey of Kamilaroi heritage worked with the museum on the project. Visitors can examine the artists and stories connected to the label while learning how clothing carries community expressions. The Queensland Government through Arts Queensland supports the exhibition. It remains exclusive to Brisbane and connects audiences with cultural work from across the state and further afield. The museum operates as Brisbane City Council’s main venue for history and art displays that reflect the city’s culture. The exhibition is open at Museum of Brisbane, Brisbane City Hall, 64 Adelaide Street, Brisbane City. Artist in Residence: Renee Kire Artist in Residence: Renee Kire — Image: displayed from the Trumba-hosted source ; not copied to or stored on Diony. Event information: Brisbane City Council Open Data . Renee Kire transforms the museum entryway with vinyl graphics and timber sculptural pieces that form an immersive route across walls and ceilings. The installation draws from minimalist traditions yet applies a contemporary feminist perspective to highlight contributions by women in that movement. The work responds to the architecture of City Hall and the surrounding cityscape through repetition, rhythm and fine details that encourage slower observation. Tim Fairfax AC supports the Artist in Residence program. The resulting environment remains bright, colourful and open to all visitors while prompting new views on built surroundings and abstract shapes. Sessions run from 10am to 5pm at Museum of Brisbane, Brisbane City Hall, 64 Adelaide Street, Brisbane City.
