Taking a moment to have a yarn and walk in someone else’s shoes can help us understand different perspectives and reflect on how we can work together. In this series, we’re connecting with people from across DAAFF’s community to learn and share in some of their knowledge about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts industry and DAAFF’s role within it. Today we chat to Art Centre Manager Joann Russo, who works out of Girringun Aboriginal Art Centre in Far North Queensland.

The Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation acknowledges the value, diversity and integrity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, music and performance as an integral expression of Australian culture. We respect the work of Art Centres in their support of the richness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural aspirations and expressions.

We acknowledge the Larrakia people, both past and present, as the Traditional Owners of the land upon which the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation will present events. We appreciate the opportunity to share this Country and are committed to working together and appropriately consulting with the Larrakia people in presenting the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair.
