A biennial event, The Bless Your Big BLaK Arts Festival showcases indigenous music, theatre, literature, film, multimedia, dance, and other related activities.
It presents new works by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists practising in Victoria with the intention of raising awareness of indigenous culture, people and issues.
The festival is an environment for interaction and exchange between indigenous and non-indigenous people and highlights the integral role of indigenous cultures to Australia's national identity.
