‘By exploring Melbourne’s exceptional graffiti culture, this exhibition seeks to highlight a calligraphic art form sharing many similarities with highly regarded traditions in Islamic and Asian cultures.’
-Jake Carter, Head Curator
The exhibition hosts commissioned artworks by some of Melbourne’s most significant writers, alongside Arabic calligraphy and exemplary Chinese and Japanese calligraphy on loan from East & West Art and a photographic documentary, covering some of Melbourne’s most significant contributors to the street scene over the past twenty years. Our opening night was well attended by over 50 visitors and included an opening address by Kim Le-Cerf, Mayor of Darebin and Dr. Lachlan MacDowall from The University of Melbourne. We look forward to welcoming you all in exploring Melbourne’s urban graffiti culture through this unique lens. Islamic Museum of Australia: Opening Hours Tuesday – Saturday 10am – 4pm
