The Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair (DAAF) is usually held every year in Darwin, on Larrakia Country, bringing together artists and arts lovers in a shared passion for Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander contemporary fine art. Like so many other cultural events around the world, DAAF is going digital in 2020. The new digital platform will enable anyone, anywhere to ethically purchase a diverse range of artwork direct from Indigenous-owned Art Centres from across Australia.

Injalak Arts will present new paintings, fibre art and textiles for our digital booth.The digital Art Fair will be held over nine days, from 6-14 August 2020.

Check out the rich and exciting Public Program carefully designed for online delivery. Some of you were lucky enough to book Coiled Basket Weaving Masterclass with Injalak Arts on 11 August 2020. We look forward to seeing you online then!

To compliment DAAF2020 Online, Injalak Arts has created a Collectors Special Edition Catalogue.

We are very proud to announce that Injalak artist Selina Nadjowh has been nominated for THE TEXTILE DESIGN AWARD and THE SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARD for her exceptional contribution to the development of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander textiles and fashion.

Coming from a family of artists, Selina Nadjowh is a multi-talented weaver, painter, fabric designer and printer, whose textile work spans over a decade. Through innovative designs, Selina continues an ancient painting tradition passed on for thousands of years, from rock art to stunning wearable creations depicting her dreamings. Designs include Manme (bush foods), Kuluban (fruit bats), Nawaran (Oenpelli Python story) and Dilly bags. Her work has reached an international audience including exhibitions, fashion shows and as products worn by many. Selina is an expert screen printer and senior workshop manager at Injalak Arts, where she has trained younger women and encouraged many more to enter the field of Indigenous textiles production and design. Selina has also developed a series of women’s knowledge of survival and creation stories that can be shared alongside her designs, furthering the cultural education of a wide ranging audience.

The inaugural year of the NIFA has seen 33 designer and artist nominations from the textiles and fashion design community. Good luck to all the nominees across each of the six award categories!
