MELBOURNE, VIC – Last Sunday, the vibrant streets of Brunswick hosted an unforgettable Graffiti Art Workshop as part of the ongoing Melbourne Art Integration Journey. Guided by renowned Melbourne artist Callan Morgan, international students were given a hands-on opportunity to immerse themselves in Melbourne’s rich street art culture.
The workshop, divided into two sessions (morning and afternoon), allowed participants to unleash their creativity. International students from various cultural backgrounds connected through art, sharing their perspectives on life, culture, and artistic expression using graffiti as their medium.
Exploring Brunswick’s Street Art
Callan led them on a guided tour through Brunswick’s dynamic street art scene, where they admired the rich graffiti works and learned about the history, techniques, and cultural significance behind the art form. The group immersed themselves in the creative atmosphere of this open-air gallery, gaining a deeper appreciation for Melbourne's artistic neighborhoods.
Personalized Graffiti Tags and Studio Visit
Following the tour, participants learned how to create their own personalized graffiti tags. With markers in hand, they unleashed their creativity, designing logos that reflected their individual styles. Callan also opened the doors of his studio, showcasing his incredible artistic works, including the mechanical vehicle he created for the 2017 Burning Man Festival. Attendees were in awe of the artistry and craftsmanship on display.
Unleashing Creativity
In the final session, students had their creative breakthrough. From personal graffiti signatures to elaborate drawings, the participants transformed their ideas into vibrant works of art, reflecting their unique imagination and artistic talents.
As the workshop concluded, participants gathered for a group photo with their collective graffiti creations, capturing the spirit of collaboration and artistic expression that defined the day.
More Than Just Art – A Cultural Exchange
This workshop was not just about learning graffiti techniques—it was a platform for deep cultural exchange, where participants explored Melbourne’s street art culture while connecting with peers from diverse backgrounds. Through this experience, they discovered
their artistic potential and strengthened cross-cultural understanding.
