With the majority of events being free to all, Blak & Bright aims to showcase Indigenous writing in all its forms and to help increase the profile and readership of all Indigenous writers and writing.
Program highlights include an ‘industry insider’ afternoon, providing insight on how to get started in the literature industry alongside three workshops led by acclaimed novelist and non-fiction writer Anita Heiss, Stella-shortlisted novelist and poet Ellen van Neerven and Age Book of the Year winner Kate Howarth.
Elsewhere in the program comes the premiere performance of Native Dignity, 6 Plays in 60 Minutes from ILBIJERRI theatre company and Blak Gala: Story Behind The Songs featuring James Henry, Monica Weightman and Kutcha Edwards with special guests.
