Write your heart out
Presented by Museum of Brisbane and Brisbane Festival
Tell us a love story …
Museum of Brisbane will burst with stories from the heart throughout September.
Inspired by Trent Dalton’s Love Stories, you're invited to share tales of first, enduring, or lost love in a pop-up writing experience this spring.
Motivated by a personal moment of profound love and generosity, bestselling author — and one of Australia's finest journalists — Trent Dalton spent two months in 2021 gathering stories on his sky-blue 1960s Olivetti typewriter, on a prominent street corner in Brisbane’s CBD.
Speaking to Australians from all walks of life, he asked them one simple thing: 'Can you please tell me a love story?' What followed was Dalton’s unashamedly joyous collection of Love Stories.
Now it's your turn to scribe your very own love story and immerse yourself in tales of happiness and heartbreak from across the city.
Museum of Brisbane’s Artist in Residence program is supported by Tim Fairfax AC.
Write your heart out is supported through Brisbane Festival's Giving Program by Ian & Cass George.
