Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property

Bundanon acknowledges the centrality and significance of Culture and Country in all First Nations practices and knowledge. This understanding extends to the importance of protecting this knowledge and ensuring it is passed on in the proper ways. In acknowledging this, Bundanon commits to respect and uphold Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property Rights (ICIP).

Bundanon asks artists to consider if their work incorporates, is sourced from, or refers to cultural heritage material and, if so, to seek the appropriate consent from the community custodians. Bundanon expects residency participants to follow ICIP best practice as outlined by the Arts Law Centre.
