I Know A Place

Place-based storytelling.

I Know A Place invites audiences to celebrate the regions they call home, by recognising special places.

Designed for museums, galleries, and other community hubs, this participatory installation combines quiet contemplation with a delightful, hands-on crafting activity; a unique and rewarding interaction for locals and visitors alike. Crafted in our signature style, this beautiful centrepiece artwork deepens our connections to our local places and, ultimately, to each other.

Currently on exhibition

Our installation is currently on exhibition in Bundaberg at the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery from 22nd April - 7th September. This project will invite residents of Bundaberg to celebrate the regions they call home, recognise and share the places that are special to them, and memorialise their connections to the city.

Touring

I Know A Place is available to tour to your gallery from early 2025. Please contact us to express interest.

Artist in Residence at Museum of Brisbane

Dates in residence:

20 May - 31 May 2024 | Museum of Brisbane
7 August - 1 September 2023 | Museum of Brisbane
4 November - 27 November 2023 | Queen Steet Mall

In May we returned to Museum of Brisbane from 20 - 31 May to reactivate I Know A Place residency project as part of the Museum's' Making Place: 100 Views of Brisbane exhibition. From 7 August - 1 September 2023 we were Artist in Residence at Museum of Brisbane with the installation, responding to the exhibition themes explored in Making Place: 100 Views of Brisbane through a participatory project involving the wider Brisbane community. We also participated in a special pop-up installation in Queen Street Mall from Saturday 4 November to Monday 27 November 2023.

During the residency with Museum of Brisbane, our team spoke with visitors about important memories of Brisbane locations. Responses were collected through our custom-made centrepiece designed and assembled using our signature computer and machine assisted approach. We thank all participants who participated in this open-ended collaboration.
