The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection they have maintained to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We accept the invitation in the Uluru Statement from the Heart and are committed to walking together to build a better future.

Blak & Bright: Beneath the Sky

Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon listening to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists take the stage to share bold and unfiltered stories.

Beneath the Sky: Resist. Reveal. Reclaim. is a free spoken word event sharing bold and unfiltered stories that delve into truth, resistance and the vital call for treaty.

Expect creativity that’ll move you, courage that’ll inspire you and storytelling that cuts to the core of justice. Whether through poetry, song or speech, these voices will challenge, uplift and unite.

This event is supported by the City of Melbourne.
