WAW launched on January 26, 2022, intentionally subverting the day’s contentious legacy and reclaiming it for Indigenous Australians. WAW spotlights Blak excellence so the next generation can see it to be it. A year later, we were asked to create an event to bring the community together and maintain the positive energy. 

We came up with an ambitious idea. A takeover of one of Sydney’s iconic museums – The Powerhouse. By decolonising a historically white colonial space, we transformed one of Australia’s oldest museums into a House of Blak Power. A free, all-ages event of art, photography, music, dance, panel discussions, and premiere of WAW’s original documentary film, Through the Fire.
