This spring, ACMI in Melbourne is screening Writers Bench: The Evolution of Melbourne Graffiti and Street Art Culture. 1980 – 2011.

The film takes the audience on a first-hand journey through the historical timeline of graffiti and street art culture in Melbourne, exploring some of the artists who have helped to shape the city’s cultural identity.

From its raw beginnings as political and radical slogans plastered on walls throughout the suburbs and the colourful burst of murals splashed along train lines, to the rise of street art as an inner city tourist attraction, Writers Bench traces the evolution of this vital artistic movement.

We have three double passes to the 4pm Saturday 22 September screening at ACMI in Melbourne. To be in line to win email desktopcomp@niche.com.au with your name and contact number by 5pm on Monday 27 August 2012.
