THE TAKEOVER PROJECT
2025 PROGRAM
A W A R D E D P R O J E C T S
GALLERY TAKEOVER 1-23 MARCH
Artist: JADE STEVENS
Project Title: (WOMEN) CLAIMING SPACE
This project will transform the gallery into a feminist space where Nambour’s women can authentically explore their voices, creating messy, unapologetic expressions of truth and sharing their raw, authentic, lived experiences. This will unfold on a continuous roll of watercolour paper, blending diverse forms of creativity as a collective act of empowerment.

RAMP TAKEOVER 1-30 MARCH
Artist: SARA INGRAM
Project title: THE DISPENSARY
This immersive project reimagines the ramp space as a gritty, whimsical pharmacy. Through a deeply personal lens, it examines struggles with mental health, addiction, and the universal search for solace amid chaos.
The Dispensary will allow reflection, connection, and a shared understanding.

BLACKBOX THEATRE 30 JUNE - 16 AUGUST
Artist: BEN BURNS
Project Title: PETROL AND REPAIRS
Does your vehicle’s warning light keep flashing? An interactive spoken word theatre show that will get under the bonnet of our human machinery, exploring why we run out of fuel and how to survive a breakdown. Refuel your heart and fine-tune your mind through story, sound and repair. Are you willing to get your hands dirty?'

RAMP TAKEOVER 10 NOVEMBER - 7 DECEMBER
Artist: MATH_FEELS
Project title: ENDOMUSIA
A community invitation to contribute any sound—via objects, instruments, or voices—into a collaborative recording space. Participants will be guided through exploration, focusing on curiosity over skill. These soundbites shall be reshaped into a cohesive audio-visual composition, culminating in a public performance emphasising experimentation and expression.
