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.
