About Blak Dingo Club

Blak Dingo Club, founded by Bibbulmun Noongar and Kungarakan artist Ilona McGuire, offers opportunities for community connection centred in truth-telling and reconciliation.

As part of a special month-long collaboration for National Reconciliation Week, we invite you to come along and enjoy a free series of movie nights and the ultimate quiz night with Blak Dingo Club in May and June 2025. 

Blak Dingo Club was created to make space for joy, celebration and pride in the incredible achievements throughout Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories. Everyone is welcome to attend and to share in the experience - learn, re-energise, relax and laugh together at the Blak Dingo Club.
