Saturday 9 April, 4.00pm - 6.00pm

Zootopia Urban Jungle Day
Join us for a rumble in the jungle at Queensland College of Art Griffith University for a free day of events to celebrate the opening of the Zootopia: Posters from the Urban Jungle exhibition at DELL Gallery @ QCA.

Zootopia: Posters from the urban jungle
Overcome by complacency? Are the only free radicals you know the ones swimming in your bloodstream? Then come along to this youth initiative and check out how those who couldn't stomach it any longer made it personal, political and public for the rest of us through the art of the poster.

Students from Queensland College of Art Griffith University have sifted through the collections of the State Library of Queensland and the Griffith University Art Collection to present an exhibition of 140 provocative posters which will jog your memories, pump your blood and yank your chains!

Come to the Urban Jungle Day to celebrate this event.

A National Youth Week project initiated by the State Library of Queensland and Queensland College of Art Griffith University. Guest curated by Beth Jackson.
