In total 13 globally renowned street artists hailing from Brazil, the USA, Europe, the UK and Iran will come together to create breath-taking pieces of street art using walls in Aberdeen city centre as the canvas for their work.The line up of artists revealed for the 2023 festival, which runs from Thursday, June 8 until Sunday, June 11 will draw inspiration for their creations from the festival’s ‘Rewilding’ theme and will come together in the city with the common aim of strengthening the connection of people and communities to the city through their art.
Returning to Aberdeen for the second time, UK duo SNIK will once again unleash their male/female dual perspective on the city. A real coup for the festival is securing artist, writer, producer and filmmaker Stanley Donwood (UK) who has created all the Radiohead album artwork since 1994. Jamie Reid, perhaps best known for designing album covers for the British punk rock band The Sex Pistols, Jamie Reid co-founded the radical political magazine, Suburban Press, and will bring his unique style of cut-up graphics and slogans to Aberdeen.
