Blak & Bright First Nations Literary Festival acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the sacred lands on which we work. We pay our respects to the people of the Kulin Nations and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, past present and future.

We recognise all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the first storytellers; and that knowledge transfer through storytelling is imbedded in the very DNA of this Country.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website may contain images, voices or names of deceased persons in photographs, film, audio recordings or printed material.

Curator Mentorship Program 2022

The future is here!

This brilliant cohort of literary masterminds make up the inaugural Blak & Bright Curator Program. The aim of the program is to facilitate future Blak & Bright Directors. Over 12-18 months the cohort will meet to discuss and practice Festival logistics including: program design, partnerships, funding, marketing and staffing.

The future of First Nations Literary Festivals is bright, and we couldn’t be more excited to see how time travels.

With our Director Jane Harrison (in the yellow dress), is Declan Fry, Bridget Caldwell-Bright and Evelyn Araluen.
