KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 (Bernama) -- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander creatives will be celebrated in Darwin, Australia, from Aug 2-7 in an unmissable showcase of art, design and culture at Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair (DAAF) Foundation’s series of iconic events.
DAAF is Australia’s largest and most celebrated First Nations visual art event, which will return for the 16th year to run both online and in person this Aug 5-7, according to a statement.
The internationally celebrated art fair sits alongside the Foundation’s two Indigenous Fashion Projects events, Country to Couture on the Aug 2, and the National Indigenous Fashion Awards on the Aug 3, bringing Australia’s most acclaimed and vibrant First Nations artists and designers to the national and global stage.
As the only Australian event of its kind, DAAF has secured a reputation as one of the country’s most significant and internationally recognised arts events.
It creates a unique opportunity to connect with, and ethically purchase art directly from Art Centres, as well as meeting the artists and learning firsthand about their cultural heritage, stories, history and traditional artistic practices through a range of masterclasses, talks and demonstrations.
DAAF 2022 is on track to be the most successful and widest reaching yet, with a record 76 Art Centres participating in the Foundation’s inaugural hybrid delivery of the event.
The first week of August is predicted to be one of the biggest showcases of First Nations talent in the world.
Music, art and culture will collide as The Collective unifies to bring the public a unique experience across the creative industries in the Northern Territory.
