STANDING BLAK, LOUD & PROUD

Barkindji sisters Megan and Toneya Kennedy art exhibition with amazing food & music at Bad Decisions Fitzroy 11th January 2026. Our first event hosting together!

Raising awareness around men’s suicide and Black deaths in custody.

These issues continue to hit our communities hard. Too many of our men are struggling with no safe spaces, no support, and too many brothers have been taken from us by the system.

This event is built by us, for us — to heal, to stand strong, and to take back our stories.

🎤 Line-up:

• Catering by Kira Simpson - Kamilaroi Chef

• Guest Speaker: Jarvis Atkinson (ChainBreaker)

• Artists: Megan Kennedy, Toneya Kennedy & Michael Hume + guest artists currently incarcerated in NSW

• Live Music: Aunty Nola Roach with Jalgany

• acknowledgement to Country: Uncle Chris Hume

• Performers: Crooked TP & Crew, Wi Jaja Dance Group

• Didgeridoo : Daen Ellis

There’s no funding behind this — just community, goodwill, and heart. Funds raised will help support a Men’s Shed in Preston, a culturally safe space for our men, and support families affected by deaths in custody.
