Blak Powerhouse is back for 2026, see the upcoming program here.
Blak Powerhouse is back, and it's bigger, bolder and blaker than ever. On 26 January Indigenous social enterprise We Are Warriors will take over Powerhouse Ultimo, turning a day of sorrow into one of power and positivity.
A night for all ages, mob, allies and advocates. Expect an evening of Blak power and joy with a mix of live music, dance, art, talks, workshops, markets, food, DJs and more.
