This September 20, don't miss Don't Ban the Can - a north side event raising awareness around the impact of the latest installment of anti graffiti laws in Melbourne.

Through a healthy mix of excellent local music and an exhibition of approximately 200 prominent local and international artist's works, the team behind Don't Ban the Can support Melbourne's culture and understand the implications of criminalizing the city's prominent arts and cultural base.

Jeremy Gaschk of Don't Ban the Can says “Melbourne is portrayed as the city of colourful lane-ways, of
progressive design and street fashion in tourism campaigns from many government funded bodies. We realise that street art and graffiti is a key contributing factor to the very culture that is bringing interstate and international tourists to our city.

We wanted to hold a day celebrating this very fact in a non violent way.” Throughout the day there will be live street art demonstrations by local graffiti artists, DJ's and break dancers. “This day is about good art, good music and awareness. We encourage all to come down to support our stance
on these laws” said Gaschk.

Vernissage on august 8th / opening reception starting at 7 pm Those were the glory days of grafitti, when young people in the 80ies were going out at night to put their names on trains, walls and buildings. Graffiti grew as a part of the hip-hop culture and the breakdance movement to the most important youth culture of that decade. But later - when we reached the 90ies, it was only hip hop, that went major, graffiti and breakdance were going back to the underground. Nowadays when everybody screams for a piece of streetart we forget, that even graffiti culture had his evolution and built the base for todays streetarthype. And if u take a closer look you will see so many awsome talents - taking this underground art into the galleries and show it to a wider audience (f.e. OS GEMEOS). intoxicated-demons.com
