MAJOR PRESENTING PARTNER
Galangoor djali! As a proud Butchulla man, platforming Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and making space for our stories to be told is an honour, while being in service to these lands and their communities is a privilege I strive to carry with respect. This program emerged from a year of deep listening: to Country, Elders, artists and community. Sydney is a place where stories from many Countries meet. When division feels louder than understanding, Blak Out asks us to gather with curiosity, generosity and willingness to listen. This year, we’re proud to welcome the University of Sydney as Major Presenting Partner of Blak Out. At the heart of this partnership is a shared commitment to platforming Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, centring First Nations knowledge and making space for our stories to be told with ambition, complexity and joy. Across the program, First Nations storytelling is in full force: generous, playful, collaborative, challenging, thriving and at the forefront of national conversations. Remembrance sits beside renewal. Truth-telling meets Blak joy. Custodial knowledges speak urgently to our shared future. We invite you to gather with us, listen deeply and celebrate boldly.

Summer School
Summer School is a constellation of ideas, encounters and artistic knowledges, making space around Festival works for audiences and artists to linger with an idea. It begins with three key capacities: depth, spaciousness and agency, or the possibility of thinking deeply, slowly and freely. Borrowing from neuroscientist Anne-Laure Le Cunff’s description of these as “cognitive luxuries”, Summer School positions artists to facilitate other rhythms of attentiveness and being. Expect artist-led rituals, yarning circles, workshops, salons, roundtables, cooking demonstrations, game nights and prophecies. Come sit closely with the techniques inside a work, learn through inherited recipes and oral traditions, follow an artist into an idea that is still unstable, or simply be present in a room of people circling questions we cannot resolve alone. Festival Commons also returns as the generative heart of Summer School, bringing a growing cohort of Indigenous, Black and PoC cultural leaders together as they shape the future of what festivals can be.

FESTIVAL COMMONS
Four participants from Greater Sydney and two from the Asia Pacific will join us for a ten day Festival Immersion experience, receiving structural support to deepen their practice through skills development, sector leadership opportunities and international exchange.
We’re assembling community leaders who are already hip-deep in creating and facilitating gatherings across artist-led spaces, skate parks, community kitchens, drag houses, garage parties, club nights, Discord servers, TikToks and more. Our goal is to connect and empower these tastemakers to expand the influence of their work.
They’ll be joined by Ratri Anindyajati, director of the Indonesian Dance Festival, who also helped shape the Asia engagement aspects of the program.

Now in its second year, Festival Commons is our structural intervention, offering mentorship and resourcing to six emerging Indigenous, Black and PoC festival-makers, curators and cultural convenors in Greater Sydney and the Asia Pacific.

SILAH: FOR AS LONG AS YOU ARE HERE Wasielah Noorsjamsi ( Australia ) 7–25 JANUARY — THE CUTAWAY
Western Sydney artist Wasielah Noorsjamsi’s public sculpture Silah (ṣila, )ةَلِص--meaning connection and the act of joining—creates a shared space within The Cutaway for assembly, co-presence and retreat. It is a place to gather and exchange, but also to chill without urgency, to practice the lost art of listening closely, and to let conversation unfold at the pace of instinct. From Tarot with Angela Dix to deconstructing contemporary dance with Vicki

Van Hout and Raghav Handa, and Mahjong Nights with Nø Flowers 麻将 Mahjong Club, you’re invited to take “I don’t understand” as an opening gambit, to let confusion, delight and discomfort into the conversation, instead of ending it. No experience necessary: come for the salons, games or readings, and stay for the banter with unexpected new friends. See the full program online.

Jamie James’ photographic archive and Victoria Spence’s stage presence bring Sydney’s queer history to life. Slide into this timestamped world of kinky clubs, performance artists, private intimacies, friendship, risk and radical self-expression. A tender and provocative homage to queer culture and the icons who keep its fierce heart beating.
