Collingwood

This guide to Collingwood in Melbourne follows a Keith Haring mural on the old Technical College wall, hidden behind plywood hoarding for two years before it reappeared in December 2019. It traces Haring's three-week Melbourne visit in March 1984, when students painted the wall yellow first, then Haring climbed up and filled it in a single day with the same loose, joyful figures he was drawing on New York subway posters back home.
