Teach Blak History Project

The Teach Blak History Project is a youth-led creative and educational initiative led by Aretha Brown, a Gumbaynggirr artist, screenwriter, and cultural advocate, and the Kiss My Art collective she founded, which has created over sixty-five murals and public artworks worldwide.

The project spans exhibitions including After the Rain at the National Gallery of Australia, murals across Japan celebrating Aboriginal leaders and language, protest banners made in collaboration with Kneecap, and educational merchandise such as the Decolonise Yourself cards.

Two books sit alongside the project. The first, Aretha Brown and the Kiss My Art Manifesto, is a full-colour mural and photography book documenting Aretha's public artworks, activism, and speeches. It is a curriculum-aligned resource for teachers and students, and practical guidance for young artists interested in mural-making and public art.

The second, Architecture of Country by Bradley Kerr, is a full-colour dossier cataloguing Winsor Kerr's collaborations and research into built environment projects, alongside essays, texts, and speeches by Bradley and his frequent collaborators. It centres Blak-led approaches to designing spaces of care, repair, and belonging. It is also an educational atlas for design practitioners, academics, and students, and practical guidance for young First Nations designers navigating the co-design process.
