Photographer and filmmaker Eirini Alligiannis launched her striking exhibition Art On The Wall on Tuesday, April 29, as part of the Greek Festival of Sydney, drawing visitors into the vibrant world of New York’s street art culture.
Held from April 29 to May 4, the free exhibition featured photography and themes from Alligiannis’ accompanying book, exploring urban culture through graffiti, movement, and the energy of city streets.
The first book chapter revisits the now-demolished 5PointZ in Queens, featuring images from Alligiannis’ award-winning documentary Louie (KR. ONE) Gasparro 5PointZ, alongside breakdancer Ze Motion, who brings the walls to life with his expressive movement.
The second chapter moves to Brooklyn’s Bushwick Collective, capturing the bold, ongoing creativity of one of New York’s most active street art hubs.
“As an Australian Greek photographer, filmmaker, and now author, it was a true honour to be part of the Greek Festival of Sydney and to present Art On The Wall,” Alligiannis told The Greek Herald.
“This work speaks to a blend of experiences, memories, and emotion… I’m deeply grateful to the Greek Festival of Sydney for the opportunity to share this perspective and for making space for new creative voices within our shared cultural landscape.”
