NAIDOC Week 2021: It is time to support Indigenous designers 6 July 2021
Ahead of the next digital Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair from August 06-11, Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation (DAAFF) executive director Claire Summers and creative director Nina Fitzgerald discuss why it is a pivotal time to be celebrating the work of Indigenous designers.
There has never been a better time to support Australian Indigenous artists and designers.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and fashion provides a conduit to connect to the rich culture, stories, traditional practices, and histories of our First Nations Peoples.
These creative processes also provide a safe space to communicate ideas and transcend the cultural and historical barriers that prevent us from understanding one another.

The online fair will run from Friday 6 August through to Wednesday 11 August.
