Save Preston Market

 

This poster was created to support a campaign to prevent the demolition of a market in Naarm/Melbourne. The market has been an important cultural icon and shopping location in the area for generations and its demolition will wipe away a massive amount of working-class and migrant history and culture, turbocharge the gentrification of the area, in the process making around $1 billion profit for the developers. The poster was plastered across Naarm/Melbourne and formed part of a newsletter that was distributed to 30,000 households to build community support for the ongoing campaign.

 

Artists Stand In Solidarity With Palestine

 

This poster was created to stand in solidarity with the campaign run by Palestinian and Arab activists and artists to boycott the Sydney Festival, after it was discovered that the festival board had received a $20,000 donation from the Israeli Government to be a star sponsor of the event. Over 100 artists joined the boycott, making it the biggest boycott in solidarity with Palestine in our country's history. This poster aims to highlight the hypocrisy of the Sydney Festival in that they aim to platform First Nations artists and market themselves as being progressive, yet the genocide happening to the Palestinian people is the exact same as what is happening here in so-called australia to Aboriginal people. The poster was made with the intention that it could be repurposed for future boycotting campaigns of a similar nature.

 

Respect For Earth

 

This poster was created to be sold as a print for people to celebrate the beauty and wonder of life and to highlight the interconnectedness of everything. With the world in turmoil due to the climate crisis, I felt that making a positive piece like this might inspire people to connect with what it is we are fighting with our lives for.
