Creators from throughout Australia are invited to submit works into subcultures. We are inviting creators to explore the vibrant and often misunderstood world of subcultures, bringing to light the rich tapestry of alternative identities, communities, and expressions that flourish outside mainstream society.  

From punk and goth to skateboarding and street art, we encourage creators to celebrate the creativity, resistance, and innovation of those who carve out spaces of belonging in subversive ways. 

Through a mix of mediums including painting, photography, illustration, and collage, subcultures aims to reflect on how fashion, music, political ideals, and shared lifestyles converge to create powerful subcultural identities. We encourage creators to capture the unique aesthetic markers of these groups but also their stories of solidarity, marginalization, and rebellion. 

subcultures is a tribute to the underground movements that challenge the status quo and enrich the cultural landscape through their bold, alternative visions of community and identity.
