Before Covid-19, the Spanish Flu was the worst out

Before Covid-19, the Spanish Flu was the worst outbreak of infectious disease in Australia's history. When author Matthew Wengert began to research the impact of this pandemic on Brisbane, he knew he would find a story of loss and sadness. What Matthew didn't expect, was to discover an uplifting and remarkable story of the women who fought the flu. We're sharing a guest blog from Matthew this week on the MoB Feed, tap the link in bio to learn more. Photo: detail of City in Masks cover by Matthew Wengert, designed by Caitlin Morgan.

So far 2020 has shown us how connected we are with other parts of the world. In BRISBANE ART DESIGN: OPEN SOURCE, our latest online exhibition, we explore the theme of collaboration on a global scale. From a design duo who live in two different time zones to a Brisbane based family working with communities in the Philippines, these artists are proving distance is no obstacle for creative collaboration.

SUNDAY STORIES | The Victoria Bridge - Do you reco

SUNDAY STORIES | The Victoria Bridge - Do you recognise this structure? It depicts what was Brisbane's first cross-river bridge. For a city built on its river, bridges are more than just a means to reach the opposite side. Bridges strengthen the connection between the northern and southern banks, forming an integral part of our city's landscape. However crossing the Brisbane River hasn't always been easy, learn more about the first structure to bridge Brisbane's banks in this week's Sunday Story! Link in bio.
