The bold, tattoo-style illustrations behind Australia's Support Don't Punish campaign aren’t created by a design agency, they’re hand drawn by Emily Ebdon, a Tasmanian peer worker and artist with two decades of frontline harm reduction experience.

In this spotlight, Emily talks about feeling creatively constrained in faith-based organisations, finding her voice in the drug user movement, and the process of turning real submissions from people who use drugs across Australia into vibrant artworks.

August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD), the world’s largest annual campaign to end accidental overdose.  This year’s theme is ‘Together We Can’.  Against this sentiment of hope and togetherness, the title for ACON’s IAOD event ‘Stories from the Underworld’ seems rather mysterious.
