The season from 12 September 2026 to 18 April 2027 was highlighted by QAGOMA marketing specialist Laurel Zhang during the Bespoke Queensland event in Brisbane this month. The gallery also hosted the welcome function and dinner for Bespoke.
Zhang says social media ‘went viral’ when the coming exhibition was announced. ‘It generated by far the most views on social media of all the exhibitions we have announced,’ she adds.
The exhibition will explore the company’s trajectory from practical puppetry to today’s animatronic and digital innovations, as well as ongoing developments in on-screen puppeteering. The company is known for the Muppets, Sesame Street characters, Labyrinth, Fraggle Rock and The Dark Crystal.
At Bespoke, the gallery was also promoting its Taste of QAGOMA, a private tour with lunch plus a First Artists Evening Indigenous Experience for groups.
