About IFP & the DAAF Foundation

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owned and governed, IFP is a program of the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair (DAAF) Foundation, a not-for-profit Indigenous organisation, owned and governed by 90 community Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Centres and Peak Bodies. All funds raised by IFP go back into providing opportunities for First Nations artists and designers, Art Centres and their communities.

Our Foundation has been operating since 2012, and is governed by a Board of Directors with representatives from Art Centres and their Peak Bodies, a Larrakia Nation representative and industry specialists.

IFP was launched in 2020, in response to the aspirations of our Art Centre members and the growing textile and fashion design movement.

Why is IFP important?

The purpose of Indigenous Fashion Projects is the organised support of the development of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander textile and fashion practice and enterprise.

This includes but is not limited to supporting Indigenous Australian designers, artists, Art Centres, models, technicians, mentors, educators, service providers and other industry practitioners.

  • Cultural expression, advancement & protection
