State Library of Queensland

The State Library of Queensland is the state’s bastion of literature and artefacts of cultural significance throughout Queensland’s history.  It is home to a vast array of collections as well as the exhibitor of major curated expositions throughout the annual calendar.  KDPR was engaged as SLQ’s publicist for two of its exhibitions – Freedom Then, Freedom Now showcasing pieces of social importance, focussing on the notion of freedom, civil rights and social liberty; and Don’t Just Count Us, Let Us Count! in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Referendum.
