BLAKTIVISM with Baker Boy

For the fourth year in a row, BLAKTIVISM brings together an incredible line-up of First Nations artists, celebrating Blak Cultures and activism on the Hamer Hall stage. Headlined by Baker Boy, the lineup features a diverse, multi-generational collection of pioneers and emerging voices of First Nations music and art. Since first capturing the attention of the Australian music scene in 2017 as the winner of the Triple J Unearthed National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMAs) Competition, proud Yolngu artist Baker Boy has well and truly broken out to become one of the nation’s most electric performers. Baker Boy will be joined by co-founder of legendary rock band band, No Fixed Address, Bart Willoughby, jazz singer Deline Briscoe, vocal trio Suga Cane Mamas, and more. There will also be a very special performance by the Kulin Nation Songwomen, whose voices will call out in tribute to their matriarchal ancestors. This year’s theme, Holding Koorie Space, will pay tribute to Koori families who have fought to retain their land and voice over the years. BLAKTIVISM will pay homage to the bravery of these pioneers, keeping their stories alive through song, ceremony, visual art, dance and creative collaboration.
