Ripple Narratives was proud to capture the energy and spirit of Echoes of the Block: A Live & Local Blak Hip Hop Collaboration presented by Awesome Black at Carriageworks for Vivid Sydney.

This dynamic four-day event transformed Carriageworks’ Track 8 into a vibrant First Nations-led pirate radio station, showcasing live performances and raw, uncensored broadcasts from Blak artists including DOBBY, Mr Rhodes, Izzy, ChillCheney, Minty, Prodikal-1, The Chaza, Yung Brother, Emerald Brunt, and more.

Our film and photography coverage documented the full scope of this cultural takeover—from intimate open studio sessions during the day to explosive live shows at night. The resulting visuals capture not just the performances, but the collaborative spirit and community power that defines Echoes of the Block.
