In the19 years that DAAF has been running this is the second time only that NSW has been represented.
This year Aboriginal Culture, Heritage & Arts Association (ACHAA) and the Aboriginal Regional Arts Alliance (ARAA) are represented.
ACHAA, working from its network of 20 community-controlled cultural centres and galleries, is presenting artists’ works from Armidale Aboriginal Cultural Centre, Coomaditchie United Aboriginal Corporation, Dunghutti-Ngaku Aboriginal Art Gallery, Yarrawarra Aboriginal Cultural Centre, and Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Cooperative. These centres and galleries are being represented in person by artists including Alison Williams (Gumbaynggirr), Bob Blair (Kamilaroi), Rachel Cross (Dunghutti), and Rubyrose Bancroft (Bundjalung).
“This opportunity provides a meaningful lift for NSW artists and communities on a national and international platform,” said ACHAA chief executive Steve Miller.
“We’re excited to be there with the ARAA contingent, magnifying the NSW presence. I think we have the mix of artists right from the many NSW Language Groups to make a big impression.”
