Meet the winners of the NIFA 2023 Community Collaboration Award, Gapuwiyak Culture and Arts and Aly de Groot.
As part of the collection that secured Gapuwiyak Culture & Arts the Traditional Adornment Award, judges also recognised the artists for their collaboration with Darwin artist and designer Aly de Groot. Working with Aly, the artists took the inspiration from the Donald Thompson photographs into a collaborative workshop to finalise 10 looks that were presented to resounding applause at Country to Couture and Melbourne Fashion Week last year. Bringing designers young and old together, the collection celebrated collaboration and drove economic benefit for the artists’ community.
This award is supported by the Canberra Centre.
The NIFA is proudly presented by the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation’s (DAAFF) Indigenous Fashion Projects (IFP), and supported by the Northern Territory Government and official media partners NITV and marie claire Australia, with industry partners Country Road, Robina Town Centre, Canberra Centre, RMIT University, and QIC.
