Spryk Australia Tour 2026: Live A/V, Residency and Cross-Border Exchange
Across July and August 2026, Spryk (Tejas Nair), the artist and founder of Mumbai label skip-a-beat, is on a tour across six Australian cities: Brisbane, Perth, Canberra, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne.
Only part of it happens on a stage. Between the shows sit an artist residency, a writing camp, industry panels and a bilateral youth-leadership dialogue: music as one strand of the wider practice skip-a-beat has always worked in, across media art, curation and conversation.
