Bibi Barba

Passionate to advocate for Justice and Human Rights for Australian Indigenous Peoples. My work has consisted of working with Artists and Designers National Stakeholders as I am an artist myself studying Law at University of Technology Sydney (UTS) where I am aspiring to empower myself and educate everyone on national and international levels about the rights for Australian Indigenous artists and the invaluable wealth of our traditional knowledge. I believe this is an important part of moving towards a better future for Australia as there is lack of education around Indigenous Cultural Intellectual Property (ICIP). Working as a professional artist for decades and then the Artists In The Black National Co-Ordinator for Arts Law of Australia has exposed me to the constant misuse of cultural protocols and misappropriations of Australian Indigenous Culture and practices.
