On view until 13 September 2026, Snap Blak at the Queensland Art Gallery brings together photographic works by First Nations artists from the late 1980s to today. Through powerful perspectives on identity, sovereignty and self-representation, the exhibition challenges dominant narratives and reclaims visual histories. A must-see – and free to the public.

The title originates from artist Destiny Deacon, who redefined the spelling of ‘black’ to uncover pejorative appellations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The exhibition is divided into four themes: ‘Community POV’ (point of view), ‘Visualising identity’, ‘Re-visioning history’ and ‘Archive: Reply’.
