It’s less than a month until the festival launches on 3 August 7pm at @TheWheaty so we asked Mélanie, Banjo, and Alex about RPIA and No Wave. Filmed at No Wave’s July poetry reading last week.

Decided to black spray paint my stencil that was created for a previous @PoetryRaining project. This is a snippet from my poem 'Koi' that was inked on a street in Adelaide with a special formula that made the words only appear when wet.

This week we’re celebrating! 🎉 RPIA has won a @CityofAdelaide grant, ensuring that the festival will go ahead.

The project is run by our team of volunteers, but the hydrophobic paint, stencils, and tagging permits don’t come free.
