Some of Australia’s most respected Indigenous artists are coming together to celebrate over 40,000 years of the essential role of the songman and the role of uncles in traditional and contemporary Australian Indigenous cultures.

WhichWay Uncle is presented as part of the 2016 Black History Month celebrations with the support of Brisbane City Council.
