Blak Douglas - Strength in Culture

An evening with 2022 Archibald Winner & First Nations activist, Blak Douglas. The Dunghutti artist admired nationwide for his brave political works.

Blak will share his experience as a First Nations artist, working to bridge the cultural divide with art that challenges us to think. Born in Blacktown and based in Redfern, Blak spent 20 years ‘taking a risk’ before taking out Australia’s most famous art prize last year with his portrait of Karla Dickens in Lismore during last year’s floods.

Celebrate Gumbaynggirr culture with a performance from the Giingan Gumbaynggirr Cultural Experience and Welcome to Country by Uncle Micklo Jarrett. Composer, musician and Gumbaynggirr language teacher, Birrugan Dunn-Velasco, will also share insights into his work.

Enjoy canapes served on arrival as part of your ticket and drinks available to buy.

$79 or $59 members & concession. Donate a ticket for $59 to benefit a local art student.
