This week in Sydney, you can catch the International Youth Parliament organised by OXFAM, where lots of young people are gathering from all over the world to discuss important issues and their ideas about how to change the world for the better. The festival also has a cultural component, “Y-Voices and Visions of World Youth” which combines music, acrobatics and dance acts from France, Australia, Brasil, Quebec, Chile and South Africa. Each group has been working on a piece in their home country and they’ve been rehearsing and collaborating together in Australia over the past month towards the opening performance this week. David is a graffiti artist from Montreal, who’s been painting the sets for the Sydney performance, and has recently formed a hip hop group called M.T.L Pact de Rue with four other mc’s and a dj. He’s also been working on a graff piece with local young people at Bondi Beach in Sydney. James Fletcher caught up with David on Friday, before rehearsal.
