Tools of the Trade frames the history of street art and graffiti through the lens of the tools that artists use to create their work. It highlights the wide range of tools used throughout history, their evolution, and the ingenuity of the artists that make and use them.

Invited by the Brisbane Street Art Festival, TOTT Brisbane 2022 showcased 95% of the original collection plus numerous new artworks, artifacts, and full-scale pieces from Australian artists.
