Expo/Sure?

This poignant photographic retrospective, originally showcased in 1984, revisits a pivotal moment in Brisbane's history. Expo/Sure? offers a captivating glimpse into the West End community just before the sweeping developments that prepared the city for World Expo 88. Through the lenses of just two photographers, the exhibition captures the essence of a neighbourhood on the cusp of change.

A visual time capsule: A vanished streetscape; Explore the streets, buildings, and hidden corners of a pre-Expo West End, documenting a unique period in the suburb's evolution.

Community in focus: Discover intimate portraits of residents, shopkeepers, and local characters who shaped the identity of West End.

A dialogue with the past: Reflect on the social and urban transformations that unfolded in the lead-up to Expo 88 and their lasting impact on Brisbane.
