Ruairi Burns
Ruairi Burns is a student researcher at the University of Newcastle. His Honours research looked at DIY merchandising as a social practice, with a focus on youth, identity and labour. It was undertaken in Newcastle’s indie/punk music scene, which Ruairi has been a long time member as both a musician and DIY screen printer. After a number of years playing in bands such as Dog Act, Jacob and Postal, he learnt how to make his own merchandise. He soon began printing merchandise for others in the scene.
