ReForm extends the idea of street art to art and creative intervention in public spaces, with a focus on short-term installations, creative interventions, ephemeral light works, and interactive & participatory works. ReForm is a QUT focused program with content from current QUT students, recent graduates, staff and alumni. It provides an opportunity for the presentation of works in unique public spaces and engages with BSAF’s broad community base.

QUT School of Design Student Collective “The Dub” will be continuing their yearly Bambuild series, with their
fifth project taking on new sites at QUT’s Kelvin Grove Campus. The Dub’s project team will be designing & installing a temporary bamboo pavilion that aims to both highlight the structural applications of bamboo and showcase current student work to the greater design and public communities.

Celebrated across the globe, street art has become a meaningful carriage of artistic expression and discussion between artists and their communities. Street artists often create artworks as a visual campaign, where multiple elements of the artwork are strategically placed in public spaces to communicate to a broader public. Predominantly, street art carries a political tone or social message; this is often one of the key motivations for street artists to spread their work across the city.
