Indigo Embassy Video Exhibition

Indigo Embassy is a music, video and design production studio born of East Coast hip-hop mastermind Tycotic. Since it’s established in 2010 The Embassy has produced hundreds of videos, ranging from underground 1 take spits to multi-media green screen and animated showpieces, some which have been featured on the MTV Australia/ New Zealand television channel. In 2014 Tycotic produced Kerser’s S.C.O.T National Tour DVD, which managed to rank #2 on the ARIA charts; his music video work for Kerser alone also clocking millions of views on YouTube.

This all aussie hip-hop showcase highlights the genre’s strong ties to marijuana culture, selecting the dankest videos from Australia’s East Coast hip-hop community, featuring artists such as Fortay, The Hed Udb, Hyjak, Kerser, Jacquie Lomas, Losty, Nix, Tycotic himself and many more.

A culture of deviance in itself, hip-hop to it’s community is not just a genre of music but a way of life. Drawing on the 4 artistic elements of rapping, DJing, graffiti writing and b-boying, hip-hop has always had strong connections to cannabis and activist cultures, like a connecting puzzle piece in a patch work of unorthodox art societies. Come and immerse yourself in this collection of oz-hip-hop weed anthems, selected specially for the annual Nimbin Mardi Grass and bought to you by The Indigo Embassy.

Druglawed 2: Scientist – Film screening and Q&A with film maker, Arik Reiss

Druglawed 2: Scientist details the life and work of pioneering Israeli chemist Professor Raphael Mechoulam, who discovered the molecular structure of cannabis in 1964. He has been at the forefront of cannabis research for over half a century and has blazed a trail for Israel to have the largest state-sponsored medical cannabis program in the world. The production visits Israeli hospitals, nursing homes and clinics, where cannabis is dispensed to 25,000 registered patients nationwide. We also access secret high security cannabis facilities where the plants are grown on an industrial scale. This is a fascinating and deeply personal exposé of the future of cannabis medicine, seen through the lens of a living legend.

Druglawed – Film screening and Q&A with film maker, Arik Reiss

DRUGLAWED is the explosive documentary exposing how New Zealand has been co-opted by the US into fighting the failed War On Drugs. Over the last 100 years the US government has forced its drug control policies on almost every country on earth. 40 years since Richard Nixon declared the War On Drugs in 1972, 22 million Americans have been arrested for marijuana. Only one country in the world has higher arrest and conviction rates: New Zealand. DRUGLAWED examines how New Zealand fell in lockstep with US policies, and shows how smaller countries can break out.
