Stavroula Adameitis is an Australian artist, designer and author obsessed with all things kitsch. Her work sits gleefully at the intersection of popular culture, nostalgia, maximalism and futures-thinking.

Since starting her art practice Frida Las Vegas in 2013, Stavroula has created installations for galleries including the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, exhibited textiles at the Art Gallery of South Australia, and facilitated creative learning programs at the Sydney Opera House. Her graphic art has been commissioned by clients including Adobe, Meta and Westpac, she has designed costume textiles for Katy Perry, as well as dressing a worldwide cult of glamazons with her signature bombastic designs.

Stavroula is the artistic director and co-founder of SA Futures Agency and recipient of the 2025 40 Under 40 Creative Thinker Award. She believes that looking backwards with enough colour and curiosity is the necessary first step in reimagining the present to create futures worth showing up for.

Her first book Australianarama: A Campendium of Kitsch was published in September 2026 by Pink Shorts Press and distributed by Simon & Schuster.
