Super Souvenir | Byron Coathup

The Gold Coast has a glorious tradition of the tacky souvenir. The Super Souvenir project takes a fresh look at these little talismans of memory, that generations of visitors took home with them after their holiday in the sun.

As the city evolves, Super Souvenir asks, what are the new kinds of souvenirs that speak about this place?

Local artists have been invited to make objects, images and sound that generate conversations about the new Gold Coast and how it relates to its souvenir heritage past.

Look for the Super Souvenir caravan as it goes on the road around the Coast. Experience historical and contemporary displays of classic souvenirs and meet artists, collectors and community members.

Workshops

You’re also invited to BYO GC souvenir and join in the discussion in our live podcast room. Drop in for some hands on workshops with the artists or tune in online, where you will find updates and conversations with podcasts, interviews and the latest developments of life on the road with this roving exhibition space.
