Outer Space is a not-for-profit Contemporary Arts organisation in Meanjin/Brisbane. We collaborate with artists and arts workers to develop, make, and present critically engaged creative practice in a supportive professional environment. Our exhibitions, events, and programs welcome those involved in, and curious about the arts. Outer Space is committed to fostering a sustainable creative community in Brisbane that engages local, regional, national and global contexts.

Darren Blackman is a Gureng Gureng and Gangulu multidisciplinary artist. Blackman’s ancestors were forbidden to speak their own language so in turn, he utilises text as a process of decolonisation. Dismantling narratives via loaded text, he mongrelises the king’s English. Layers of text are scribed and stencilled into each work on canvas, paper and textiles.
