Blaklight School Holidays
BlakLight invites shared pride in our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage and history during this one-month program celebrating the diversity of First Nations culture in Australia. During the April school holidays we invite families to experience all the exhibitions together, sparking conversations about Country, creatures and cultural identities exploring the notion of shared community through visual art, music, workshops and more.
