Justin DeLeeuw

Wednesday, 7 August 2024 - 4:00pm to 5:00pm

Folks may know this week's guest, Justin DeLeeuw, via his gold toilets which have been spotted around Preston and most consistently on Google Maps at 'Modern Art - Not a Fan', a rather interesting parcel of grass on a median strip on St Georges Road. Justin and other assorted activists, including members of the Renters and Housing Union (RAHU), have all this week slept out in gold tents at the site as part of the Housing Crisis Survival Expo - a Homelessness Week event raising awareness and encouraging conversations about creative solutions to the crisis, including squatting and dumpster diving. They have been having good chats with students across the road at the Polytechnic and other assorted locals have stopped by with food and conversation. Justin was born in '71 Adelaide and has a lived experience of homelessness. He is a pointillist tattooist, a portrait painter and recycle auditor. He knows about all the crap people put in the wrong bin! Justin got into the rave scene in Lismore area as an art installator and is planning an entry to the next Birdman Rally. Maybe a flying house? We love Justin's style and it was great having him on the show this week. Keep up the great work, Justin!
