Blak to the Future by Rosie Kalina

Look out! Blak to the Future is crash landing onto the forecourt of Arts Centre Melbourne.
Returning for its fifth iteration like never before, this exhibition reflects on the deep-rooted history and ongoing presence of Blak art in Narrm. It dives into Blak to the Future’s grassroots origins, presenting archival footage and new works within an immersive, 360 lounge room inspired installation.
Blak to the Future is grounded in themes of Futurism, Survival, and the impacts of ongoing colonisation on First Nations people. In a colony that sought to erase our existence, we continue to resist and take up space. Blak to the Future will serve as a place of respite within the bustling CBD, inviting viewers in to rest and reflect.
An amalgamation of the past, present, and future, Blak to the Future will stand as a portal between worlds—paying tribute to those who came before us and expressing our desires for the future.
