FREE EXHIBITION

This inspiring exhibition celebrates the remarkable contributions of women and girls from across Queensland and will also feature portraits of ten incredible local women from Cairns along with their stories, as part of the Cairns 150 celebrations with support from Cairns Regional Council.   

Women may not be highly visible in many formal positions of power, but in fact, they exercise extraordinary leadership in a myriad of ways and places throughout our state. 

In this exhibition, we pay tribute to women and girls from the locations where WOW - Women of the World Festivals have taken place - Charleville, Longreach, Cairns, Logan, Brisbane and Biloela. Each woman featured has been identified by her community for the leadership or huge personal contribution they have made, and all have remarkable stories to tell. Photography by Cristina Bevilacqua, Tatenda Dhobha, Katrina Lehmann and Mana Salsali.

Supported by the Queensland Government, this legacy project and exhibition will offer visitors a unique opportunity to engage with the powerful images and narratives of over 50 extraordinary women and girls.
