About Blak & Bright

Blak & Bright is Australia’s leading organisation dedicated to showcasing and elevating First Nations literary voices. Founded in 2016 as our flagship event, the Blak & Bright First Nations Literary Festival, we have now established year-round programming, partnering with like-minded organisations across Australia. We are dedicated to celebrating the rich tapestry of First Nations writers across all genres. Our workshops, panels and performances create distinctive spaces for Blak conversations, showcasing writers at all stages of their careers to an expanding and increasingly diverse audience. Guided by the belief that Blak stories are for everyone, our mission is to amplify the powerful narratives and diverse perspectives of First Nations writers, ensuring their voices resonate across the nation and beyond. We also champion the economic advancement of First Nations peoples by fostering sustainable writing careers in the literary sector. Through valuable skills training and mentorship, we enhance the knowledge and capabilities of our community in the arts, empowering them to thrive.
