Awesome Black will present the Black Winter Block Party at Brookvale's 7th Day Brewery from June 27 to 29, bringing together Indigenous music, art, food, and workshops in a free, three-day public event.
Headline musical acts include Tjaka, Isaac Compton and Dobby, with additional performances from Elina, Lemonise and Bow and Arrow.
A new ambient soundscape commission will also feature, alongside a secret yet to be announced performance.
A visual art series titled Posters with Power will showcase works from Solid Lines artists Jade Goodwin, Jeswri, Dylan Finney, and K-Rae.
The large-scale posters will include interactive augmented reality features and will be available for sale throughout the weekend.
Bush to Bowl will bring native ingredients into focus with a collaboration on beer infusions and margarita salts, as well as hosting workshops on native food knowledge and preparation.
