Blak Ink: First Nations Poetry Showcase

Welcome to Blak Ink, where poetry gets real, raw and unapologetically Blak.

Produced by Red Room Poetry and Fremantle Library for Poetry Month, and curated by Luisa Mitchell, Blak Ink is a dedicated space for First Nations poets to come together, speak, and be heard on our own terms. A space of strength and story. A chance for us all to listen deeply.

Beginning with the music of a local First Nations artist, join us for an evening of powerful rhythms, rhymes, shared resistance, joy, celebration, learning and connection. A selection of First Nations books will be available for sale at the event.

Featuring Tanesha Bennell, Jack Collard, Leanne Dolby, Maitland Schnaars and Dylan Murphy. Hosted by Luisa Mitchell, author of Song of the Shadow of a Seed.

Presented for Poetry Month in partnership with Red Room Poetry.
