Back around again, StreetFest presents 10 hours of innovative showcases starting at 1pm through ’til 11pm at Hearn St Car Park this Sunday. Merging creative talent from the worlds of; music, art, film, street sports and fashion.
Beats from The Nextmen along with the Urban Nerds, outside Remedy will host some Spoken Word and on the main stage teams will go head to head in a live Secret Wars art battle.

This week we think you should seriously consider heading down to Streetfeet ’09. The event on Sunday is described as a “new breed of festival… promoting and merging creative talents”. On the day you’ll see live painting, skaters (they’ve built a halfpipe), fashion shows and cinema screenings. Music being provided by the people at Real Hip Hop in London and if you get hungry they’ll be food from Japan to Jamaica.
Secret Wars has taken live art global. The competition places two artists infront of a 20ft white wall. Arming them with only creativity and black paint (no pencils or sketches allowed) the artists have 90 minutes to apply their inventive flair onto the wall. No themes or directions are given but artists are encouraged to woo the crowds and intimidate their opponents. Like in any MC, DJ or dance battle, key criteria are originality, style, context and improvisation. Boasting their talent contestants must win over two judges with a decisive decibel reading from the supporting crowd to seal the deal.
