We talk metro 1, s-lab, MCDs and how we’re really good at cooking

Hung up weighs in on Western Syd with help from our dear friend Adam (2759). We cover his art school aspirations, how hard it was to find kale in the west, aus hip hop, and what it was like growing up in Penrith (2750) and moving to Newtown (2042).

We briefly chat @sly__morikawa’s show at TCS windows and examine the tension in her photos of Western Syd. And we once again ask, who can wear TNs?

We visit Who Are You Wearing at @fairfieldcitymuseumandgallery and go deeper on @chainmailthelabel and @nicoleoliveria works. We talk about Western Sydney, tolerance v love, anti-alienation and the solipsism of WFH.

Indigo @calli_comical is a seamstress working in fashion and film and a commercial screen printer.

We chat being non-judgemental on the street; who got paid at sydney fashion week; and getting started in a creative industry.

We chat to @tiles.lewisham and @the_kitchen_studios for some stuff on DIY, anti white cube, and how galleries interact with their neighbourhoods. Good ep to listen to if you're thinking about setting up a gallery or an artist studio. Bonus discussion of the local Lewisham vape shop and its perpetual chess comp.
