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.

Dave Court is a multi-disciplinary artist working in areas of painting, design and installation. Current work includes large scale mural painting, event activation, venue design and creation of immersive installations.

Other major projects from here include running ethical clothing brand foolsandtrolls, retail store / art space Created Range and working as creative director of Yewth Magazine, as well as ongoing freelance work and art practice.

The University of Adelaide, the Sia Furler Institute, Creative Revolutionaries, RCC and local artist Dave Court invite you to join us for a chat with Kit Redstone and Jolie Booth.

Kit Redstone is an award winning London-based trans writer, director and performer of playfully bombastic theatre. His work balances absurdist comedy with heart-felt explorations into what it means to be human, and uses an eclectic mix of performance tropes and styles. Much of his theatre work uses direct address as a way of forging a really active and engaged relationship with his audience.

Jolie Booth is an award-winning Brighton based feminist writer, theatre maker, museum creator, producer and woman of magic. Her work is extra-live, giving permission from the performers to the audience to relax and that anything can happen. Her work weaves between the inner and outer worlds, seeking to provoke and instigate social change. She sees theatre as a spiritual path.

Kerith Manderson-Galvin is a Melbourne based performance maker who creates unconventional works of theatre, live art and performance art. They make work concerned with queer femininity, a feminine aesthetic, the marrying of high and low culture, and feelings. Kerith’s work appears in galleries, theatres, gigs, online and at music and arts festivals and they have performed across Australia at venues and events including Dark Mofo, Mecha: Festival of Experimental Art, PICA, MTC (Neon), and Provocare Festival. Kerith is one third of live art pop sensation Expen$$$ive and creates and performs with their sibling, Tobias Manderson-Galvin. They have a Masters in Writing for Performance from VCA.

The University of Adelaide, the Sia Furler Institute, Creative Revolutionaries, RCC and local artist Dave Court present the first AGITATE session with Motez and Peter Drew hosted by Patrick Martin and Caitlin Ellen Moore.

Motez’ distinctive sound pushes the boundaries of regular house music; from when he was making wholesome, wall-to-wall club cuts and rocking festival stages to current day. Underpinned by a knowledge of classical piano and influences from the 90’s, his music showcases the diversity of his taste and style.

He has won six Hype Machine #1s and an ARIA Gold single alongside writing official remixes for Disclosure, Sam Smith, Goldlink and Ellie Goulding. Motez has joined Diplo & Friends, Beats1 Radio and Triple J 'Mix Up Exclusives' to lay down his favourite selections.

Peter Drew was born in 1983 in Adelaide. He holds a Master’s Degree from the Glasgow School of Art. His artworks have been exhibited at the Art Gallery of South Australia and the National Gallery of Australia, though his most prominent work is installed on city streets.

Drew says “I like to exhibit my art on the street because public space is a great equaliser, and it’s also an ancient forum. When you address the public through the street you’re entering into a tradition that emphasises our fundamental freedom of expression, over the value of property... I enjoy examining our collective identities and my aim is always to emphasize the connections that bind up, rather than the fractures that divide us.”
