We have spent years trying to get Martyn Reed on the Radio Juxtapoz podcast. The main reason being that the man behind perhaps the most famous, enduring and renowned street art festival in the world, Nuart, has changed the way we contextualize and think about the role of art in our everyday lives. Every year, whether in Stavanger, Norway until recently and now his 7th edition in Aberdeen, Scotland, Reed has themed his curation to certain topics, inviting not only artists to paint on city walls, but brought writers, academics, media members, organizers, city planners and just about anyone who thinks about art in a critical way to come to the festival and give their story. It's a family, and it continues to grow and mature. On this very special edition of the Radio Juxtapoz podcast, recorded live in Aberdeen, we finally got a chance to sit down with our good friend Reed and get the origin story of not only the festival, but his history in examining power structures and finding ways to infiltrate and nurture those places with prevailing and underground culture. The Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by FIFTH WALL TV's Doug Gillen and Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco. Episode 114 was recorded in June 2023 in Aberdeen, Scotland during Nuart Aberdeen .
