Cultural Identity. Ownership. First Nations rights. Stories and storylines.
The Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) is having a crucial moment in Australia. Although the Muswellbrook event is cancelled due to low bookings, you can still attend at Murrook Centre, Williamtown, on 13 November… book here https://events.humanitix.com/williamtown-icip-gathering.
Create NSW are holding over 20 gatherings across NSW to discuss ICIP at the grassroots level.
Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) includes all aspects of cultural practices, traditional knowledge, resources and knowledge systems developed by Indigenous people as part of their Indigenous identity.
Create NSW First Nations team is travelling around NSW to meet with First Nations artistic & cultural communities about what ICIP means for you.
First Nations community members and allies are invited to come for a briefing on what is happening in this space locally and federally, as well as a broad-ranging discussion on the ICIP issues that directly affect your communities and cultural practices.
These discussions will contribute to Create NSW’s larger work with Terri Janke Company to develop and provide resources for communities to help protect ICIP in First Nations arts and cultural practice.
Find out about the latest approaches to Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP), tell your stories, understand more about what can be “owned” and by whom, discover the challenges and rewards of keeping your mob’s visual, musical and storytelling culture alive, and much more. Open to any Aboriginal people engaged with culture and art.
