Have you ever been on the Tour of Beauty – squatfest request.

It’s been three and half years since SquatSpace first conducted their now infamous REDFERN-WATERLOO – TOUR OF BEAUTY.

The next tour on May 31st is part of the exhibition There Goes The Neighbourhood at Performance Space in The Carriageworks (Sydney).  Squatfest normally loathe to do a gallery piece about Redfern, which of course was the original impetus to instead take people around on the ground in Redfern.  However, in addition to a tour, Squatfest has come up with a great idea to create a giant photo mural from all the pics taken on the tour over the past few years!  Something like “A thousand pictures speak one word: Redfern”

So if you have been on any of the tours over the years, we are looking for your photos! They need your digital file and they’ll do the printing.

Please send by May 8th,  to info@squatspace. com, or upload them to Flickr, or other such online photo management and sharing applications, and send the link. Thanks!
