Why
We Are Warriors and Powerhouse gather again on Gadigal Country with this year's theme honouring the cultural practice of Welcome. Come early and be welcomed by Gadigal traditional owners onto to the unceded ancestral homelands upon which we all live, work and gather.
We Are Warriors and Powerhouse transform Manning House to Blak Powerhouse on 26 January 2026 flipping the script and turning this day into a day of Blak power, pride and positivity.
Be welcomed onto Country, participate in a smoking ceremony, learn weaving practices, enjoy the best Blak live music and DJs, and hang out in Nooky’s backyard.
Not only is this the fourth Blak Powerhouse but we are celebrating We Are Warriors’ fifth birthday.
This is a night of Blak power.
This is Blak Powerhouse.
