Thomas - Curatorship

Lubi has been curating from The Block New Media Exhibition Space located at QUT Precincts, Kelvin Grove since 2005, working locally, nationally and internationally on large scale 'new media' programs, and on a range of diverse creative projects. She is responsible for developing the current and ongoing exhibition program for the Creative Industries Precinct, the extensive public program schedules, that scaffold not only the exhibition program, but which also engage with the many Creative Industries Precinct’s communities. Since 2007 lubi has developed an ever-growing curatorial intern program, working with both under and post graduate students studying at QUT.
