Black History Month: HERstory | HIStory is bringing some of the finest local First Nations artists to Clancestry on the Melbourne Street Green with a night of free live music and storytelling celebrating Mob.
Laugh, cry, dance and celebrate into the night with powerful songs, dances, vibrant visuals, and an unforgettable atmosphere, bringing together three generations of powerful Black/Blak performing artists!
HERstory Artistic Director, Deline Briscoe (Yalanji) leads a lineup of powerful Women, with Welcome to Country to Magandjin (Brisbane) by Gaja Kerry Charlton, Kiana Charlton and the Goodjee Youth Dancers, and featuring Women of song Kaylah Coghill, Aunty Dawn Daylight, Rochelle Pitt, BADASSMUTHA, Kristal West, Guyala Bayles and Suga Cane Mamas, supported by an all-female multicultural band.
HIStory Artistic Director, Gunggari man, Peter Thornley, leads a powerful night of music and story, joined on stage by legendary voices Fred Leone and Jungaji, with rising star Rowie. Together, they honour musical trailblazers and explore what it means to live Black/Blak in this country – past, present, and future.
Backed by an incredible live band, this Black History Month event weaves seamlessly between HERstory and HIStory, culminating in a finale that celebrates Black/Blak brilliance, rhythm, resistance, and community. This is a night not to be missed.
