SNAP sketches the timeline of a lost Australian sub-culture, the teenage Sharpie gangs. Tough and stylish, the Sharpies created their own diverse family, where mateship and defiance were valued over race, colour or authority. SNAP is loaded with photos, snippets from the internet and first-hand recollections from former Sharpies and observers.
Melbourne’s teenage Sharpies were ahead of their time. They used mateship, fashion, music and at times, violence to challenge absolute authority and resist corporal punishment.
Sharpies were children. Children, that raged and rebelled against the rigid class, gender, racial and ableist norms of their time.
Kids that didn’t give a fuck.
