Horizon Festival proudly presents a vibrant celebration of Indigenous creativity with BLAK OUT – a dynamic showcase of storytelling, culture, and resistance through art at LANTANTA Space in Moffat Beach.
For ten days, the studio transforms into a living canvas of First Nations expression, featuring bold visual installations, immersive performances, and community-led workshops. From ancient traditions to contemporary voices, this takeover honours the depth and diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artistry.
Come witness the spirit, strength, and power of First Nations creatives as they reclaim place, spark dialogue, and inspire change.

This event offers insight into the artists’ creative practices, personal stories and the ideas woven throughout BLAK OUT. The evening features a panel yarn, providing deeper reflection on the exhibition’s themes and creating a meaningful space to celebrate Blak creativity, connection, community and Country.
This visual exhibition is presented in Lantana Studios, an indoor gallery space.
Audience members can choose the duration of their experience; we recommend allowing 45 minutes to 1 hour.
