KEY EVENTS


Ōtepoti Hip Hop Hustle

Proudly brought to you by the local factions in the Dunedin Hip-Hop Community & Dunedin Dream Brokerage for Dunedin Fringe Festival 2019.
This event showcased the depth of our local talent across all four elements of Hip-Hop. Crews from RASA School of Dance tore up sections of the show, to Marze hosting the the decks, to some of the best MC’s Ōtepoti has to offer delivering some rhymes. On top of this we had a Graffiti Jam showcasing some of the best graffiti artists in the South.


Mural Masters - OUSA Art Week 2019

Artists were invited to apply to take part in the event with a select few masters of mural finalists chosen for the live painting session and overall winner designing new artwork for the Starters Bar courtyard.


In the Neighbourhood Annual Street Party.

A collaborative effort to provide a night for Hospo staff to essentially let their hair out. From that, it grew into a three zoned, multi venue event allowing local DJs to work with one another to create something fresh. It gave us a chance to showcase our DJs, artists and bartenders and provide a safe environment for us all to share. Marze produced annual mixtapes and gave them away with every ticket sold to the event.
