Stavroula Adameitis aka Frida Las Vegas: Australianarama
In conversation with Phoebe Paradise
3:30–4:30pm, Sunday 11 October, Fairfax Studio
Queens of camp and kings of kitsch, get ready: the ultimate encyclopedia of Australian pop culture is here. In Australianarama, artist, illustrator and famed fashionista Stavroula Adameitis (aka Frida Las Vegas) immortalises our icons of cringe, from the Big Pineapple to Stefan’s Needle, from Rainbow Paddle Pops to loud knitwear. Bright, bold and bloody grouse, Australianarama is a nostalgic but nuanced appraisal of our garish national treasures. It’s going straight to the pool room!
