National Art School
156 Forbes Street Darlinghurst, NSW 2010 Australia
Born on the street and reimagined in the gallery, spray remains a material of anonymity, immediacy, and defiance.

Chaired by The Betoota Advocate, this conversation brings together investigative journalist Mahmood Fazal, 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.
