From Monday 30 October 2023 to Sunday 14 April 2024, explore Council's Make Visible exhibition throughout the Outdoor Gallery. Make Visible, curated by Sarah Winter of Studio Winter, makes the often-hidden narratives of our city visible by looking at our relationships with the climate, each other, and the urban environment through the eyes of a group of dynamic and unlikely collaborators from our community.

The exhibition, and accompanying activations and public program, celebrate the intricate, delicate and interconnected layers of the city we love by revealing the 'secret' qualities of Brisbane through community-engaged content and storytelling.
