The Australia Council has today released updated Protocols for using First Nations Cultural and Intellectual Property in the Arts.
The protocols address key legal, ethical and moral considerations for the use of Indigenous cultural material in the arts.
Australia Council Head of First Nations Arts & Culture Patricia Adjei said the protocols are designed to promote greater understanding.
“Australia’s unique First Nations artistic and cultural expression is deeply and firmly connected to over 75,000 thousand years of heritage and continuing practice and its uniqueness has been recognised both within Australia and internationally.”
