Woden in Phillip has some of the most iconic graffiti sites and legal practice walls in the ACT and beyond, such as the Woden Drains. Graffiti has been part of the landscape and community since the 1980s.
The Woden Graffiti Project is recognising the significance of graffiti and street art in Woden by: Recording current graffiti and street art in Woden and the wider ACT, documenting its history, in the Woden Valley and beyond, producing events, exhibitions and activities to showcase current talent and present this history and building relationships to support future activity related to graffiti and street art.
The project will include interviews with graffiti writers who have worked in Woden from the 1980s to now, and we are also keen to locate images of graffiti from the past.
And we are looking for your Woden Graffiti Stories.
Do you have stories about writing graffiti in Woden? At the Woden drains, the Woden squash courts, other legal or illegal sites? Do you have photos of graffiti in the area from the 80’s/90’s/00’s or later? If so, we would love to hear from you.
You can submit anonymously. But if you would be happy for our project team to contact you to learn more about your story, please include your name and contact details.
Head to the Woden Graffiti page on the Tuggeranong Arts Centre website, and write your story, or upload a sound recording/voice memo and video or photos here. Your story might be published on the Woden Graffiti Project website. All stories will be reviewed before any publication.
