Elhigrah: Stories from the Brisbane Sudanese Community
On at the MoB till
the 6th
February.
A set of simply told stories, wonderfully augmented with portraits of
their new lives. Powerful examples of people getting on with their
lives, if they’re just given their freedom.

200km City: from Noosa to the Tweed
On at the MoB till the
30th January.
A modern history of the south east of Queensland, starring the car.
The exhibit is made up of a number of different perspectives of the
area, how we live, how we travel etc. The most enthralling part for me
were the nostalgic photographs and sketches of Brisbane being created,
being able to recognize buildings and areas that are completely
different today.

Isle of Refuge
On at the MoB till
the 6th
February.
Artistic responses to the treatment of refugees in Australia. What a
digitally created set of escalators or a guy humping the ground have
to do with refugees is beyond me.
Give it a skip.
