Book launch

Thursday 2 April 2026
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
National Art School
156 Forbes Street Darlinghurst, NSW 2010 Australia
Please join us for the launch of two books, the fruits of symposia held at the National Art School in 2019 and 2022.

Chaired by The Betoota Advocate, this conversation brings together Sydney hip hop and graffiti icon SPICE, Melbourne graffiti writer MERDA, and contemporary artists Joan Ross and Shaun Gladwell. Together they’ll explore how culture moves between lived practice, media and institutional framing, and how authority, power and risk operate differently across those spaces.

Cell Block Theatre, National Art School.

The National Art School acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the Traditional Owners on whose Country we meet, share and create. We pay our respects to all Gadigal Elders past and present. We celebrate the diversity, history, knowledge and creativity of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia.
