GONNA STEAL YOUR HEARTS LIKE YOU STOLE OUR LAND

Ancestral futurist pop mythology across film, theatre, music and live experiences.

We put Indigenous stories everywhere we were told we didn’t belong. Sci-fi. Horror. Romance. Reality TV. Music videos. The mainstream imagination. We rewrite colonial timelines, travel through deep time and use comedy, camp and chaos to tell the truth. Because sometimes the sharpest critique comes wearing sequins.

Our worlds include the Queen’s City Universe, a Blak pop mythology turning so-called Brisbane into a supernatural city where history, music, monsters and memory collide. It’s home to Queen’s City, Meet Your Maker (Matilda Award, Best Video Design), Gatekeepers and Blak Friday. Alongside it sit new worlds like When Harry Met Deadly, GLIMMER and Nightclub Purgatory.

We create gathering places too: Blak Day Out, GOODWAYZ and BLAKSOUND, where First Nations artists and audiences come together to celebrate and imagine what comes next.

And through Artist Worlds, we manage First Nations artists as universes, not products. Music, visuals, performance, story and strategy, built on their own terms.

Blak Social was founded by Dr Alethea Beetson (Kabi Kabi/Gubbi Gubbi + Wiradjuri), who founded Digi Youth Arts in 2013. Digi Youth Arts builds artists. Blak Social builds worlds.

We don’t imagine the future. We remember it.
