Kick off the 10th Anniversary of the Brisbane Street Art Festival and the first-ever Brisbane edition of international graffiti event Meeting of Styles with a launch party that brings the energy of street culture to the forefront!

Held at the Superordinary arts space, this dynamic evening celebrates a decade of BSAF alongside the global graffiti movement that is Meeting of Styles.

With an evening that brings together street art, music, and community under one roof. This launch party marks the beginning of a week-long celebration of contemporary public art and graffiti culture in Brisbane.

Held at the iconic Superordinary warehouse, the night will feature a paste-up festival, live murals, dynamic visual installations, and high-energy sets – bringing a fresh wave of hip-hop sets and performances that reflect the raw, creative pulse of both festivals.

Hold on to the edge of your seats as War of The Words brings the heat in a live graffiti art battle where artists go head-to-head in a fast-paced challenge of style and skill.

With beats, battles, and bold expression all under one roof, this event sets the tone for a powerful week of art and connection.

Kicking off Feb 2024 – Supermarkets is a bazaar operating every second Sunday of the month from 8am to 2pm. See our event page for upcoming dates.

It’s not just another market; it’s a full-sensory experience that combines the best of fashion thrift, art, music, jewellery, crafts, and food in one dynamic space. Here, artistry and culinary delights merge to offer something truly extraordinary.

Superordinary is more than just an arts hub in a repurposed warehouse – it’s a thriving cultural landscape that transforms month after month. Known for our envelope-pushing art exhibitions and immersive experiences, we are excited to announce our newest venture: Supermarkets.

The heart and soul of hip-hop culture is breakin’ into South Bank Parklands on Saturday 13 May 2023 for Battles & Jam. Presented by Live at South Bank, in partnership with Brisbane Street Art Festival, the event will be held at the South Bank Piazza, which is set to become an electric battleground. Showcasing the time-honoured trifecta of hip-hop culture – rapping, street art and dance – boundary-pushing muralists, dancers and musicians will go head-to-head in an exciting line up.

Produced by Nfuze Events, get hyped as these high-powered and dynamic dancers bust a move showcasing their style, creativity, and freestyle skills in a 1 vs 1 Open Style dance battle – reacting to a range of tracks mixed by DJ Seb One (MOPTOP Family, SYD/HK) – creating freestyle magic as they move.

Fusing the energy and subversion that makes this counterculture movement so globally loved, the event also sees the return of the ever-popular Scribble Slam. Cheer on as two muralists (JESWRI VS KATHERINE VINEY) and street artists race each other and the clock in a live clash of colour and creativity in this high-intensity art challenge. Bounce to the rhythms and lyrical genius of acts like Tjaka, alongside beatboxers, emcees and deejays as they pump up the jams, spinning the freshest cuts throughout the night.

The battles kick off at 4:30pm and wrap at 9:30pm. And in true street style, it’s free! No tickets needed, just gather your crew and head to South Bank Parklands. For more information and the detailed program, check out liveatsouthbank.com.au.
