Join Create NSW to discuss Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) at one of our Roadshow events
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 cultural identity.
Create NSW First Nations team is travelling around NSW to meet with First Nations artistic & cultural communities about what ICIP means for you. Join us 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.
Gatherings in Western Sydney will also have the opportunity to discuss outcomes for First Nations communities from our recently launched Plan for Western Sydney Arts, Culture and Creative Industries.
These discussions will contribute to our larger work with Terri Janke Company to develop and provide resources for communities to help protect ICIP in First Nations arts and cultural practice.
