lookandlisten return from summer break with Grafiti themed event

Leeds' (and the north of England's) premier AV pioneers looknlisten are heading Back to Cool (sorry) with a grafiti styled event for early September. 

First up is a return to their residency at the reform bar on 2nd september, featuring a massive range of graffiti influenced visuals, inspired by the recent rumba caracas graffiti jam. The night kicks off with a selection of classic films charting the history of graffiti and it’s various cultures and styles. Reflecting the strong links between graff and music, they will be breaking out some choice graff influenced music videos, including the awesome mark ronsons version of just (see below), with the dancing graffiti video.

On top of this, as if to prove they've not been idle all summer, visuals from dave lynch and 273 curse make use of footage shot during the doodle sessions in the green room at moorfest, and the full on piece work at the recent graffiti jam. all chopped up and reassembled to accompany dj airplays hip hop selection.

but that’s not all, oh no! as well as on screen visuals, they'll also have some heads getting down to some live doodling. and, for those who like their graffiti with a touch of the geek, we’re also breaking out our unique laser tagging and letting our new friends from the leeds graff scene loose to create giant laser tags.

speaking of tagging, they're also running a competition ‘get up leeds’ for the best tagging of their posters. tag a poster (preferably theirs), send them a picture ( This email address is being protected from spambots.
