The growing presence of inauthentic Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ‘style’ art

Here we take the theft of Indigenous culture seriously.

The Committee has published its Report on the impact of inauthentic art and craft in the style of First Nations peoples.

On Thursday, 10 August 2017 the Committee adopted an inquiry into the growing presence of inauthentic Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ‘style’ art and craft products and merchandise for sale across Australia. The inquiry was referred by Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator the Hon Nigel Scullion.
