Empowering and celebrating First Nations writers and storytellers, the festival program is almost entirely free. Spanning 5 days, with over 30 events and 80 First Nations artists of diverse backgrounds and genres, the contemporary festival unfolds across Melbourne's major venues, The Wheeler Centre, Fed Square, State Library of Victoria and The Capitol, with many events live-streamed online.

The 2024 program celebrates the multifaceted expressions of First Nations writers with a program ranging from songs to essays, oral stories to epic novels, and plays to poetry - including new events and cherished favourites.

This year's theme, Blak Futures Now, underscores the urgency and contemporary relevance of Indigenous voices in literature, emphasising the significance of these narratives in today's world, whilst expressing optimism for the future. It is a powerful call to action to recognise and elevate the stories, experiences, and perspectives of First Nations people.
