The Collective

Black Rose has been run by various groups of radical Sydneysiders (in various locations throughout the Inner West) for 25 years.

Black Rose is run collectively, that is, a group of people with similar interests and aims come together and make decisions based on a consensus model. No one is in charge and all the tasks we need to do to keep the shop open are shared amongst us, from cleaning to ordering books to staffing.

The collective is open and we are happy to welcome new members to help run and staff the space.

The collective meets every Thursday night at 6:30 pm in Black Rose.

If you'd like to get involved, but can't make Thursday night meetings, send us an email or give us a call. We'll figure something out.

If you don't have time to volunteer, but would like to support Black Rose, please consider donating. We can always use the extra cash.

Black Rose sits on Aboriginal Land. We would like to Acknowledge the Gadigal people who are the Traditional Custodians of this Land. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present of the Yura Nation and extend that respect to other Aboriginals present.
