Politics, Activism, Culture and Fun in Brisbane, Australia.
How will we take over the world and run it ourselves
instead of having to work for the bosses who own everything?
One thing's for sure - we'll need exciting, powerful,
curious and free people on our side, not the boring pseudo-left

Taking to the Streets Exhibition at the Museum of Brisbane.

This is a set of photos from the Taking to the Street Exhibition, which is being held at the Museum of Brisbane, inside the Brisbane Town Hall, until Sunday September 10th.

The exhibition is about the 20 years of radical protest in Brisbane, and is packed full of information and details. This short set of photos shows nothing like the full range of info there.

The town hall is right in the middle of downtown Brisbane. This is a link to the Google Map. The Town Hall is the big brown dome in the middle of the map, next to the paved open space.

You can also see a set of 58 photos from the Taking to the Streets exhibition here in a set of photos on Flickr.

Or, you can see the same set on Picasa Web Albums:

Taking to the Streets
Jul 26, 2006 - 58 Photos

Both these sets of photos have a buuilt-in slideshow so you can sit back and let the exhibition pass you by.

All these photos are my work and are in the public domain. However the original text of posters , explanations etc are copyright to the original authors.

Sam Watson is standing as an Independent candidate in the seat of Brisbane Central, in the Queensland State Election to be held on Saturday August 9th, 2006. I'll be voting for him, mainly because of this open letter to Aboriginal males, calling for them to resist racism and be true men and warriors, not abusers.
