Australianarama Book Launch - Radelaide Edition

Shrug off the cultural cringe and join Stavroula Adameitis aka Frida Las Vegas for the hometown launch of her debut book Australianarama: A Campendium of Kitsch (Pink Shorts Press), a riotous and reverent guide to all things gloriously garish and grouse from our collective pop consciousness!

Expect a retina-blasting presso on the big screen celebrating the weird and wonderful artefacts of South Australian kitsch from 1960 - 2000, alongside a Q&A with Pink Shorts Press publishers Emily Hart and Margot Lloyd, as well as a book signing where copies of Australianarama will be available to purchase and personalise.
