  • ABOUT CIAF

     

    CIAF plays a critical role in strengthening Queenslands Aboriginal and Torres Strait  Islander culture by providing the opportunity for artists to share stories, collaborate and celebrate their connection to Culture and Country. Additionally, it offers an important interface for the broader community to experience Aboriginal and Torres Strait culture and purchase artwork in an ethically run marketplace.

     

    CIAF is committed to strengthening and celebrating culture, creating professional development opportunities for artists, providing a culturally safe and inclusive space as well as fostering cultural exchange between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and CIAF visitors.

     

    If your organisation provides experiences or services related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples working within the Arts sector, the CIAF  program is your opportunity to be in front of thousands of visitors. CIAF Industry booths are intended for the promotion or artist related services. Should your organisation wish to sell any items, CIAF strictly requires your request in writing.

     

    Please contact CIAF Exhibitions Manager at exhibitions@ciaf.com.au should you have any queries relating to promoting your organisation.

  • CIAF CULTURE CODE

    Queensland Indigenous Art Movement

    The Cairns Indigenous Art Fair supports an authentic Queensland Indigenous art movement that celebrates a traditional and contemporary approach to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural expressions through stories, design elements, motifs, symbolism and imagery that is unique to Queensland.

    The use of traditional and cultural designs must be representative of Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and not representative of people and cultures outside of Queensland.

    The use of dot work and cross-hatching with origins and styles from the Central and Western Desert and Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory is not considered traditional to Queensland.

    CIAF upholds cultural protocols and does not approve of products for sale or display that present reproduced styles or creation beings without “proper” cultural permission.

    If artwork is presented as following “traditional” styles, it should be culturally authentic to the artist. Artists must show a cultural connection or belonging to the designs and stories.

    CIAF in consultation with the relevant Traditional Custodians will remove ceremonial objects for sale on display that may offend other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander groups.

    Please refer to CIAF Code of Practice for further information https://ciaf.com.au/sites/default/files/2024-03/ciaf_code_of_practice.pdf 

    Copyright

    Copyright protects the original artistic works of individuals but does not protect artistic styles or themes.

    Ceremonial styles such as rarrk (cross-hatching NT) are not protected under Australia’s copyright law. Clan icon’s such as the Quinkan (Cape York, QLD) or Wandjina(Kimberley, WA) are creation figures and considered ‘concepts’ and not protected under Australia’s copyright law.

    CIAF will seek consultation to uphold traditional Indigenous laws and protocol relating to, eg, ceremonial styles and clan icons, and will not accept any artwork that reproduces ceremonial styles and creation beings without the permission from the relevant custodians
