The Brisbane Portrait Prize celebrates the stories and lives of the people of Meanjin/Brisbane. The exhibition showcases the talent of Brisbane's artists and the breadth of Brisbane life.
Each year, the Prize invites artists to look closely at the people around them and consider the faces and personalities that make up our city, from the familiar to the extraordinary.
Questions of identity, sovereignty, belonging and visibility run alongside more intimate inquiries — what it means to be truly seen in an age of rapidly developing technology and what we carry from those who came before us.
As you move through the exhibition, look past the physical likeness and experience a deeper connection. We invite you to take a moment to stare into the Soul of Brisbane.

Kate Cooper's videos explore how bodies are imagined and imaged, understood and controlled, and how they resist. She is interested in what a moving image can do as a visual somatic experience, instead of what it represents, considering the body as a contested site where conflicts between subject and object, image and flesh, play out. Since 2014, her work has evolved through the use of CGI technology, addressing the representation of women's bodies in popular culture and consumer advertising and how images of bodies are produced within the violence of capitalist labour relations. Cooper's more recent works lean into abstraction by reproducing and manipulating the language of medical imaging techniques.
