The Kraken Black Spiced Rum have partnered with the “Fight Club” of the art scene, inspired by Marvel comics and graffiti–Secret Walls.
Famous for its distinctive bottle and named for the sea beast of myth and legend, The Kraken Black Spiced Rum, is launching a limited-edition ceramic bottle in October. Legend has it that this collectable vessel has been fermented by time and The Kraken’s ink on the ocean floor. To celebrate, The Kraken Black Spiced Rum has partnered with the “fight club” of the art scene, Secret Walls, to bring the story of the Kraken to life, through art, across Australia.
The world premier live art event Secret Walls, is a 90 minute battle between artists oozing with talent. The two opposing sides go head to head over 90 minutes, splashing their walls (up to 25ft high might I add) with graffiti in a monochrome palette. This epic event is taking place across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane at iconic venues within each state.
Sydney will witness a battle between two teams, team one is made up of notorious illustrators Ben Brown Kentaro Yoshida, and team two is iconic muralists Mlon and oxking.
Guests will come for the thrill of watching a freestyle artwork unfold before their eyes in a rarely seen battle, and leave as part of a fan base thanks to the DJ’s beats, deliciously dark drinks, voting power adrenaline and a heart-stopping countdown.
