Blak Women’s Healing is a whole-building takeover of Arts House, amplifying the voices and lived experiences of Aboriginal women and transforming the venue into a powerful space of resistance, healing, and cultural sovereignty.

Curated by Dr Paola Balla, Blak Women’s Healing explores the expressed and lived experiences of trauma, as well as self-determined desires for justice, peace and wellbeing for Aboriginal women, their children, families and communities.

Unfolding over four weeks across multiple spaces at Arts House, visitors will immerse in an exhibition of visual, oral, text-based and material culture made by Aboriginal women, together with an in-depth public program.

Informed by ongoing community research, healing arts practices and cultural collaboration, Blak Women’s Healing platforms ongoing injustices alongside a space of unconditional Blak love, softness and respite.
