Blak & Bright Writers Festival returns 3—6 September 2026.
In 2026, Blak & Bright Writers Festival centres First Nations understandings of time as continuous and relational.
Through this year’s festival theme, audiences will engage with stories and conversations that challenge linear notions of past, present and future.
