BlackInk, based in Meanjin (so-called Brisbane), is a BIPOC-centered open mic space dedicated to uplifting and celebrating Black artists. Over the past year, we’ve created a community hub where artists can gather, share, and grow in a space that prioritises open discussion and fosters meaningful connections.
Each BlackInk event has featured a unique theme and dress code, inviting everyone to step out in style and engage with new faces beyond familiar circles. We’ve shared memorable moments with incredible performances, shared meals, day parties, and, most importantly, a new home for open mic nights.
