Blak Nation Theme by Cormac Finn

Additional music: Artlist.io

The term Blak was first used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visual artist, Destiny Deacon in the early 90s. Blak is a term used by some Aboriginal people to reclaim historical, representational, symbolical, stereotypical and romanticised notions of Black or Blackness. This type of spelling may have been appropriated from U.S hip-hop.

Critique is vital to the development of an artistic practice but what could the future of a Blak critique community look like?

While there’s no doubt more Indigenous critics are needed in art criticism in Australia, are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practitioners ready to be critiqued by their own community? 

Host, Rhianna Patrick explores the complexity of Blak Critique with Author, Lisa Fuller, Literary critic for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Declan Fry, Music journalist and Australian Music Prize judge, Sosefina Fuamoli and Clothilde Bullen, Senior Curator of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Collections and Exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Arts (MCA).
