Aphids and Scott Marsh join Caitlin Ellen Moore and James Dodd to examine the role of art and culture in social change and progress.
Aphids is 25-year-old artist-led experimental art organisation based in Melbourne. Collaborative and future-focused, APHIDS is led by co-directors Eugenia Lim, Lara Thoms and Mish Grigor. The work of APHIDS is feminist, intersectional, angry and funny. They bring artists into meaningful exchange with audiences through performance, critical dialogue and unpredictable encounters in the public realm.
Scott Marsh (b.1984) is an Australian fine artist who picked up his first spray can at the age of 12 and began tagging the streets of his Sydney neighbourhood. In his teens, his focus turned to train carriages. He embarked on several tours of rail yards across the globe, forging a reputation as one of the most talented graffiti writer of his generation and taking the so-called Sydney-style to bold new levels. In 2009, he completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in Painting, at the UNSW COFA (College of Fine Arts) and soon after began receiving commissions for large scale commercial murals.
Caitlin Ellen Moore is a writer, activist, and freelance producer. Most of the time, you can find her at ActNow Theatre as their Marketing and Development Coordinator. At other times you can find her writing for This Is Radelaide, co-hosting and producing Radio Adelaide’s queer show Pride and Prejudice, quietly launching podcasts under Wickedly Good Productions, or dabbling in spoken word poetry.
James Dodd is a South Australian artist, arts educator and street artist who used the nom de plume Dlux for his street art when he operated out of Melbourne.
