Daniel Clifford: Nothing dumb
Nothing dumb transforms salvaged mid-century materials into playful works exploring family, communication and belonging. Through the use of familiar objects, Brisbane-based artist Daniel Clifford invites us to consider the systems we inherit, the identities we construct and the ways we learn to find our place within them.Working across installation, sculpture and site-responsive practice, Clifford explores the social, cultural and material conditions shaping urban and non-urban environments. His work often focuses on moments of transition and instability, where structures appear provisional, displaced or on the verge of collapse. A subtle tragicomic sensibility runs through his practice, bringing humour and unease together to reveal tensions and quiet absurdities in everyday experience.Opening Reception: Friday 9 October 2026, 5–7:30pm.Opening Hours:- Thursdays: 2–5pm- Fridays: 2–5pm- Saturdays: 2–4pm- By appointment

Strangers on a Train - Hitchcocktober 2026
Hitchcocktober returns to Angelika Cinemas for a season of thrills and chills, from the master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock! Bruno Antony thinks he has the perfect plot to rid himself of his hated father, and when he meets tennis player Guy Haines on a train he thinks he's found the partner he needs to pull it off. His plan is relatively simple: two strangers each agree to kill someone the other person wants gone. For example, Guy could kill his father and he could get rid of Guy's wife Miriam, freeing him to marry Anne Morton, the beautiful daughter of a U.S. Senator. Guy dismisses it all out of hand, but Bruno goes ahead with his half of the bargain and disposes of Miriam. When Guy balks, Bruno makes it clear that he will plant evidence to implicate Guy in her murder if he doesn't get rid of his father. Guy had also made some unfortunate statements about Miriam after she had refused to divorce him. It all leads the police to believe Guy is responsible for the murder, forcing him to deal with Bruno's mad ravings.

Following the Duke’s death in 1972, Wallis retreats to her Paris château, surrounded by her colourful confidant Jean-Claude (Laurent Lafitte, The Count of Monte Cristo) and devoted butler Louis (Buom Tihngang). Into this increasingly fragile world steps Maître Suzanne Blum (Academy Award nominee Isabella Rossellini, Conclave BFF24), Wallis’ trusted lawyer whose apparent devotion takes a sinister turn. As protection begins to give way to manipulation, Blum isolates Wallis and tightens her grip over her increasingly vulnerable life. Also starring Academy Award nominee Miranda Richardson and BAFTA-nominated Charles Dance, MY DUCHESS transforms a notorious chapter of royal history into a gripping battle of loyalty, deception and control.

Pop Choir Rehearsal Brisbane - Woolloongabba
Come and be part of the choir that joy built! Singing in Cairns, Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney, Hunter Region and Online since 2010, we are all-inclusive community choirs and we’re on a mission just to get people singing by providing a fun and funky space for people of all musical experience to make a joyful noise together. We sing a range of pop, soul and gospel songs that you'll love to sing and that our audiences will love to hear. Our secret weapon lies in the way we do things - our rehearsals are judgement-free places where you can sing in safety regardless of experience or ability. So, West End - let's get singing! New members from 18 upwards are welcome at any time and your first rehearsal is FREE so you can check us out without obligation. Our members are teachers, electricians, nurses, lawyers, business owners, students, retirees and retail workers - we have quite a few mums, daughters/mums, sons/dads, daughters/sets of sisters too so it's a great way to stay connected with your family and have fun together! Some have a heap of musical experience when they come to us but the majority have little or none. Everything about Soul Song is designed to make life easy for you. We know you're busy so there are no committees and no expectation for you to come to every single rehearsal - you just come when you feel like singing. What's even better is that there are no auditions and you don't even have to be able to read music. We teach all the songs by ear in a fun and relaxed atmosphere and we provide you with all the lyrics you need as well as some additional resources for those who want to practice on their own during the week. The songs we sing are generally pop songs from all eras but with some gospel, Motown and soul thrown in. We sing generally in three or four part harmony and with either professional backing tracks or a cappella (which means without instruments). We are on a mission just to get people singing by providing a fun and funky space for people of all musical experience to sing together music that is good for the soul. But be warned - we play as hard as we sing! THE REHEARSAL EXPERIENCE Soul Song Brisbane - West End/Hybrid Online, directed by Jaq Larsen, rehearses on Wednesday evenings. We start singing at 6.30pm but we are set up and ready to go from 6pm so you are welcome to come in early to say hi and get set up and settled in. Rehearsals go through until 8.30pm. We usually make our way to a local pub for a post-rehearsal drink and some social time, although on the last week of every month we stay at The Latvian Hall for BYO drinks and a shared plate! Rehearsals are primarily about working on repertoire and building vocal technique but we try to mix things up each week to keep them interesting and we also work a lot in smaller sections to help songs progress faster. Those who come the most often get the most out of Soul Song but there is no expectation for people to come every single week and we have lots of resources available for those who miss a week or a few to help them catch up if they want to. You'll get more information on this when you join, but these include online rehearsals, rehearsals recordings, audio learning tracks, video tutorials, sheet music, technical tutorials and more.

Wild Horse Nine
special event screening. From Academy Award and six-time BAFTA winning writer-director Martin McDonagh (The Banshees of Inisherin, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) comes WILD HORSE NINE, a blistering dark comedy about aging, guilt, friendship and the impossible attempt to negotiate with one’s own past. Spearheaded by powerhouses, Academy Award nominee John Malkovich and Academy Award winner Sam Rockwell, in two phenomenal, Oscar-worthy performances. Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris (Malkovich) and Lee (Rockwell) are dispatched from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief, MJ (Golden Globe winner Steve Buscemi). Amongst the Island's iconic statues, the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies and Chris begins to question whether he and Lee were ever friends, and whether there is an ulterior motive behind the trip. As Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways, Lee must grapple with the secret mission he has been tasked to complete. An unexpectedly moving reckoning of friendship, morality, and lives spent doing terrible things, WILD HORSE NINE is an absurdly poetic, deeply melancholy, and ultimately devastating exploration of what it means to be human, beautifully showcasing how we are all just living one day at a time until time runs out. With a wickedly entertaining and cynical yet soulful performance from Malkovich, with many calling it his finest performance of the 21st century.

Speed Mating Night 2 (Magandjin, Brisbane) presented by MELT. n
Created in collaboration with Melt Festival, a celebration of Queer arts, culture and community. Where connection is part of the experience, and a new encounter can lead somewhere unexpected. Step into a moment of curiosity and see where it takes you. You arrive thinking you’re in control. But not this time. Time slows when you meet someone new. A few minutes, a new face, a shared giggle - then the rhythm of the evening carries you around the room. You never quite know who you’ll meet, what little moment you might share, or where a conversation might take you. Because that’s what community can be: the connections that happen when you say yes to the opportunity to connect, be present, and see who you might meet. So go with it. Notice the glances. Savour the moments. Treasure every hello. Let the night unfold, one conversation and one little surprise at a time. From this moment to the next, keep discovering, connecting and celebrating together, sharing the shows, the stories, the dancing and all the Queer joy that makes Melt what it is. I’m so glad I met you. Introduction A vibrant speed mating event designed for connection. There are limited spots available, so seize the opportunity! Our goal for 2026 is simple: to continue creating a fun, loving, and inclusive third space where you can be challenged, find community, and build meaningful connections. If you’re new here, Third Rodeo’s name is inspired by the Third Place Theory, the idea that true, authentic connections are forged in a third environment outside of home and work. The word "Rodeo" comes from the phrase, "not my first rodeo," symbolising confidence. The more our community chooks attend our events, the more they feel comfortable in expressing their identity and greeting new people. So, saddle up and put yourself out there, you never know what fate or destiny has in store. Perhaps tonight is the night you were meant to meet someone special. Enjoy yourself. Event Details 7.00 PM - 11.00 PM 𓃗 Come join us on the evening of Wednesday, 21 October, at The Cave Inn, Woolloongabba.

Hadestown: The Musical
Hadestown: The Musical. It’s an old tale from way back when. And we’re gonna sing it again. The 2020 Grammy winner for Best Musical Theatre Album and eight-time Tony Award winning musical, HADESTOWN: THE MUSICAL, makes its enchanting live capture theatrical debut, featuring the five original principals of the Broadway company. The genre-defying new musical blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale. Following two intertwining love stories - that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Haunting, heartbreaking and beautifully tragic, HADESTOWN: THE MUSICAL is not only a story about love, but more than that it’s a story about faith. It expresses the evergreen themes of love, sacrifice, oppression, addiction and devotion, juxtaposing the tragedy of the way things are against a hope of the way they could be. Watching the journey we in the audience contemplate what any of us might do, asking ourselves, what does it mean…to look back? “It’s a sad song, but we sing it anyway,” Hermes reminds us, and it’s a sentiment worth repeating. There may be tragedy, but the spring will inevitably return.

Elysha Rei MAIN GALLERY | Paper Echoes
Exhibition Dates: 21 October – 21 November 2026. Opening Event: Wednesday 21 October, Artist Talk 5:30 – 6:15pm, Opening event: 6:30 – 8pm. Paper Echoes sees Rei returning to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, thirty-eight years after being born in Tabuk. Here, she revisits a landscape previously known to her only through photographs, documents, family stories and archival footage. Renowned for her meticulous hand-cut designs, Rei’s work investigates the intersections of memory, identity, and belonging through the versatile and delicate medium of paper. Through paper cutting, photography, video, scent and sound, Paper Echoes explores memory, inheritance and the connections between people and place. It asks how recognition can exist beyond conscious memory and how fragments of experience can reverberate across generations. Paper becomes both material and metaphor: a witness to lives recorded through passports, photographs, birth certificates and archives. Shaped by removal, preservation and chance encounters, the works consider what remains when memory is incomplete, and how inherited fragments can become part of a new, lived archive. Paper Echoes asks us what happens to experience as it passes from one person to another, what survives the processes of remembering and forgetting, and what fragments remain capable of reverberating decades later.

Small Mouth Sounds
Breathe in. Breathe out. Break down. In the overwhelming tranquillity of nature, six runaways from city life embark on a silent retreat. As these strangers confront internal demons both profound and absurd, their vows of silence collide with their achingly human need to connect. Check-in and chill-out with this wayward group of misfits as they attempt to find their purpose, a little peace and maybe themselves, all without saying a word. In Small Mouth Sounds, award-winning playwright Bess Wohl crafts a play unlike any other where silence is mandatory and comedy is inevitable. Awkward glances, suppressed ugly-crying, and the occasional yoga-induced meltdown become a symphony of human relationships. Featuring a fabulously funny cast directed by comedy doyenne Bridget Boyle and techno-troublemaker Nathan Sibthorpe, in a first for the Bille Brown Theatre, each audience member will be given their own headphones to hear the sublime inside the silence. With audio-immersive intimacy engineered by crack indie collective Counterpilot, you will be tuned into every surreptitious whisper, heavy sigh and smothered snort-laugh. This is storytelling at its most inventive, recognisable, raw and deeply relatable. Filled with insightful humour, this unique and compassionate play asks how we address life’s biggest questions when words fail us.

Petalia Humphreys LOUNGE GALLERY | Before The Object
Exhibition Dates: 21 October – 21 November 2026. Opening Event: Wednesday 21 October, Artist Talk 5:30 – 6:15pm, Opening event: 6:30 – 7:30pm. Gallery Walk Through: Saturday 7 November, 2 – 4pm. Petalia Humphreys presents, Before The Object, a collection of playful 2D and 3D architectonic paintings that trace the transition of an object from latent being to active becoming. Since the beginning of her art practice some 30 years ago, Humphreys has made abstracted objects, most recently using wood and housepaint – materials that might be at home on a building site, albeit potentially without the rosy pink hues used by Humphreys. She constructs these objects in different ways, with mitred angles, forming architectonic cubes, rectangles, hinged three-dimensional objects, and stools. Her creative process begins with a physical site or space, which she photographs and reiterates digitally before recreating its distilled essence as sculpture. The viewer may never know the original site or the extent of these translations but, by the time Humphreys’s sculptures in plywood appear in a gallery context, they have evolved into objects designed to stimulate engagement. They extend perceptions and experiences of space and place. In this way, the work enters a permeable space that is co-created – before the object – with its audiences.

Screened to be Believed: The Jim Henson Company
For more than 70 years, The Jim Henson Company has delivered compelling stories and engaging world building that has captivated audiences for generations. By combining traditional puppetry arts with animatronics and real-time digital animation, the Company continues to be an unparallelled leader in the fields of practical and special effects-based performance for stage and screen. Presented as part of the Make, Believe, Magic: The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company exhibition (12 September 2026 – 18 April 2027), Screened to be Believed: The Jim Henson Company showcases productions made by the Company that shine a light on the vast array of technical skills and artistry used to create unforgettable cinematic worlds. Building from strong foundations laid by the Company’s founders, The Jim Henson Company continues to foster a culture of innovation, experimentation and exploration to forge new pathways in performance-led family entertainment, making for some of the most memorable on-screen moments in cinematic history.

Beyond Henson: Puppetry and World Cinema
Inspired by the work of The Jim Henson Company and Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, the film program Beyond Henson: Puppetry and World Cinema surveys the rich international history of storytelling through the artforms of cinema and puppetry. Presented in conjunction with the Make, Believe, Magic: The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company exhibition (12 September 2026 – 18 April 2027), the film program delves into crafted narratives that harness traditions of puppetry and cinema to move beyond belief and into the realms of the imagination. To trace the anatomy of onscreen puppetry is to draw from millennia of performance and craft traditions that extend across the globe. From the marionette puppetry of France and the Bunraku theatre of Japan, to the Wayang Kulit puppetry of Indonesia and the British Punch and Judy show, the democratised nature of the puppet theatre has enabled an unbridled style of performance that can enact the truthful and the taboo. Taking direction from the television series Jim Henson Presents the World of Puppetry 1985, the selected titles include films that precede and sit adjacent to productions by The Jim Henson Company, positioning the Company’s work within the broader canon of on-screen puppetry. QAGOMA acknowledges the generous assistance of the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, Canberra; the Academy Film Archive, Los Angeles; the British Film Institute, London; the NBCUniversal Archives & Collections, Los Angeles; the Library of Congress, Washington; the National Film Archive, Prague, the Australian Film Television and Radio School, Sydney and the Revival House, Perth in providing materials for this program.

Make-Believe Magic: The Worlds of the Jim Henson Company
Celebrating 70 years of creativity and innovation, the exclusive-to-Brisbane exhibition Make, Believe, Magic: The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company is an unprecedented exploration of world-building and imaginative storytelling. Founded by Jim and Jane Henson in 1955, The Jim Henson Company has created some of the most cherished characters in screen history and continues to revolutionise the art of puppetry for television and film. Their indelible imprint on entertainment, education and popular culture globally is seen in the much-loved series Fraggle Rock and Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, the treasured fantasy worlds of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, the iconic characters of the Muppets, and the instantly recognisable residents of Sesame Street. In a world-first, the exhibition includes the Great Hall set from the Emmy Award-winning television series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, taking audiences behind the scenes of a working puppeteer’s film set. Immense and immersive, the exhibition will explore the Company’s dynamic trajectory from practical puppetry to today’s animatronic and digital innovations, as well as its ongoing dedication to the craft of creature design and trailblazing developments in on-screen puppeteering. It features hundreds of objects, from practical puppets and animatronic creatures to props, costumes, original drawings and moving image clips. Screening alongside the exhibition throughout its run are three free film programs at GOMA’s Australian Cinémathèque and QAGOMA’s renowned public, learning and access programs invite audiences to explore and engage with the exhibition themes and artworks. This exhibition is organised by the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art in collaboration with The Jim Henson Company. Works in this exhibition are protected under the Australian Government’s Protection of Cultural Objects on Loan Act 2013.

Sorcerers from Bohemia: Picasso’s Saltimbanques
Sorcerers from Bohemia evokes the free-spirited world of the travelling circus performers, or saltimbanques, the subject of Pablo Picasso’s first major body of work in printmaking. La Suite des Saltimbanques is a series of 15 loosely related etchings and drypoints that mark a transitional moment in the young artist’s personal and artistic development. Created on the cusp of Picasso’s Blue and Rose periods, the works are intimately connected with his paintings and drawings of the same era, including the Gallery’s own La Belle Hollandaise of 1905. On moving to Paris in 1904, 22-year-old Picasso encountered a bohemian crowd of acrobats, jugglers and street performers, whom he sketched as they rehearsed and socialised together. His early depictions focus on the vulnerability and poverty of these itinerant figures, whereas later works pay homage to their strong social bonds and the freedom of their creative lives. Appearing individually and in groups, Picasso’s saltimbanques vary widely in age and fulfil a variety of roles, from clown and friend to mother and king. Ushering in a lifelong experimentation with printmaking, La Suite des Saltimbanques offers extraordinary insights into Picasso’s formative artistic concerns and the social milieu he inhabited at the time. In these sensitive and sympathetic portraits, he conveys the heft of a body, the texture of hair, a playful pose or a tender gesture with remarkable economy and elegance of line, ennobling figures who ordinarily existed on the fringes of society.

Towards a Collapsing World: German Expressionism
The early decades of the twentieth century witnessed an extraordinary moment in German art, as artists responded to a modern world in flux with works that engaged deeply with contemporary society, politics and culture. Towards a Collapsing World explores this period of significant cultural flourishing through a survey of works on paper by leading figures of German Expressionism. Rather than a single, unified approach, German Expressionism was characterised by a plurality of attitudes and styles, with artist groups such as Die Brücke (The Bridge) and Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) forming and dissolving in response to fluctuating ideologies. Common to these disparate voices was a shared belief in the power of art to effect social change. The woodcut print became an important vehicle within German Expressionism, reviving a rich medieval heritage. Its stark, simplified forms, expressed through bold, flat patterns and raw aesthetic intensity, conveyed the inner turmoil and social critique of these expressionist artists with impassioned urgency.

Undying: Abdul-Rahman Abdullah
Abdul-Rahman Abdullah (born 1977, Dharawal/Port Kembla NSW) lives on a cattle farm on Bindjareb Nyoongar Country, Western Australia. Shaped by formative experiences as a "Muslim kid with mixed heritage", on his father's side he is a seventh-generation Australian descended from convict arrival in 1815, and on his mother's side, from Bugis and Minangkabau royalty in Malaysia. Abdullah's earliest influences growing up in inner-city Perth included comic books, fantasy novels, skateboarding, hip hop, a haunted family home, Sufism, boxing, and grunge, and "living a very grass-roots existence as a lo-fi creative kid in the 1980s and 1990s".

Through the Eyes of Children exhibition
Inspired by childhood imagination, Mary Elizabeth Barron transforms her grandchildren’s drawings into intricate lace artworks. Mary Elizabeth Barron has created a series of bobbin lace and needle lace works based on the artwork of her grandchildren, Jack and Aurora Shepherd, between the ages of four and seven. Children at this age are so free and confident in their drawing. There is no concern whether it is correct or good enough, it just is and they are happy and proud. The drawings are full of joyful, quirky characters. Mary tries to capture the essence of this joy, confidence and freedom in her lace recreations of the drawings. Step into a world where childhood imagination and traditional craftsmanship come together. Join artist Mary Elizabeth Barron for a relaxed drop-in session and discover how she transforms her grandchildren’s joyful drawings into intricate bobbin and needle lace artworks. Hear the stories behind the quirky characters, learn about the delicate lace-making techniques used to create the works, and explore how the confidence, creativity and uninhibited freedom of children’s art continue to inspire Mary’s practice. Ask questions, gain insight into her creative process, and see these remarkable artworks through the artist’s eyes. Friday 23 October, 10 am – 4 pm Friday 30 October, 10 am – 4 pm Friday 6 November, 1 pm – 4 pm The Line & Rail Artspace is open Thursday to Saturday 10 am to 4 pm.

Small Figures
The Collection Online team have been busy photographing thousands of artworks as part of QAGOMA’s Digital Transformation Initiative. This makes the Collection available and accessible to people everywhere, in detail never seen before. With dedicated conservators, registrars, technologists and photographers, the project has provided the resources to delve deep into Collection Storage to uncover and care for artworks not displayed in decades. This exhibition represents a small sample of our teams’ favourite finds, the weird and whimsical, the cute and curious. We gratefully acknowledge the hundreds of donors who generously supported the QAGOMA Foundation’s Unlock the Collection campaign to digitise the Collection and make artworks more accessible and discoverable online including this diverse range of artworks, from small figures to small frogs. These are some of the artworks we have recently prepared for photography, and just some of the works which made us smile.

Justene Williams: Once We Were Mudskippers
Spanning performative videos, sculpture, sound and installation from the past 20 years, including a wealth of new works, Once We Were Mudskippers emphasises the aesthetic ambition of Justene Williams’s expansive practice. Like the amphibious fish invoked by the exhibition’s title, which exist between worlds, Williams’s artworks are an amalgam of materials and approaches and remain grounded in art history while reflecting contemporary issues. Adopting a do-it-yourself strategy, Williams fuses disparate textures and concepts into compelling artworks that speak to her belief that our shared future can be forged with resources at hand and transformed by the imagination. Williams’s artworks address ideals of beauty, careerist and consumerist pressures, the strangeness of living in both the physical body and virtual space, and human connections to rituals and the afterlife. Once We Were Mudskippers is characterised by Justene Williams’s unwavering conviction that art is a world where artists and audiences can experiment and commune.

QAGOMA acknowledges the generous assistance of the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, Canberra; the Norwegian Film Institute, Oslo and the Revival House, Perth in providing materials for this program.

Great and Small
Animals have played a central part in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and spiritual beliefs for over 60,000 years. Native fauna form an integral part of relationships with Country, in community and are a foundation of economies, identity and sustainability. Over many millennia of co-existence animals have been central to survival as a food source; for First Nations people they are also absorbed into lore and culture as images of totemic power, and into the ancestral creation stories that link people, land and animals. Great and small is a celebration of these connections. Please note that the display will be closed to the public from 7-11 December for the Gallery to complete artwork rotation.
