Blakademy public program activities have been curated to promote reflection on collaborative perspectives, reciprocity and resilience.

As First Nations and migrant artists, we feel responsible for re-signifying and challenging the settler-colonial logics of art and knowledge production. We are aiming to offer new perspectives to cultural cohabit Naarm through a diverse range of artistic expressions.
