creative industries showcase
6 to 23 July 2007

Excerpts from the nation's press in the 1964 Mt Isa mines dispute.  RED CAP: The Exhibition, 19 July to 4 August 2007

'A first for Brisbane'


RED CAP: The Exhibition paired with La Boite Theatre Company's stage production of RED CAP, is a first for Brisbane, said exhibtion curator and Director of QUT Precincts Peter Lavery.

 

Never before have local audiences been treated to a premiere stage show with an accompanying full-scale exhibition.

 

With the exhibition exposing the media onslaught of the 1964 industrial dispute and the stage show focusing on the community's courage in the face of the unknown, two unique yet complementary recollections of events will be on show at the Creative Industries Precinct from 19 July.

 

Join the curators for a free informal guided tour and discuss the issues surrounding the Mt. Isa mining dispute on Friday 27 July, 7pm at The Block.
