Why 'Blak'?
To counterbalance racist stereotypes and definitions imposed on Indigenous people, First Nations artist Destiny Deacon developed the term 'Blak' in the 1990’s, as part of a symbolic strategy to reclaim colonialist language and create a means of self-definition and expression. The term 'Blak' also commonly encompasses and acknowledges the urban, contemporary Aboriginal experience across Australia.
