Why

Cairns/Gimuy for 1 night only, touring international artists the Beehive Collective will bring their mammoth murals to life with stories, hip hop and a mission to 'cross-pollinate the grassroots'.

The Beehive Collective is a wildly motivated, all-volunteer, activist art collective that has gained international recognition for its stunning graphics focused on corporate rule, colonisation, ecology and resistance. Their giant work 'The True Cost of Coal' weaves together hundreds of interviews and years of work by multiple artists and tells a global story oh so resonant for us here in Queensland.

  • Bar open.
  • Interactive presentation, hip hop and musical performances.
  • Kids corner with the True Cost of Coal activity & colouring book.
