We Need Your Stories!


a citywide listening project for Brisbane

Call out for Stories
Do you have a tale to tell?

Calling the Past is an oral history project mapping the people’s history of Brisbane.

We are currently looking for contributors with strong personal experiences of what it used to be like to live in Brisbane - witnesses to events that shaped the city, interesting professions, love stories, transformative tales, funny anecdotes and unforgettable characters that were all part of the memory of the city.

We will be recording your stories, editing them with sound and mapping them to their locations. The project will go live for the month of June, transforming public phone booths into free listening stations.

This is an opportunity for your story to become part of Brisbane’s greater history, aswell as to share in the memory of other’s experiences.

If you have a story to share, please get in touch with either Nick -0468497690 or Laura -0468433697 to arrange an interview. Alternatively, email callingthepast@gmail.com with your contact details.

Calling the Past is a project supported by Telstra and the Brisbane city council. Calling the Past is a project supported by Telstra and the Creative Sparks Grants Program.

Creative Sparks is a joint initiative of Brisbane City Council and the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
