Bastion built on these opportunities and created even more by also focusing on the ethical buying of Indigenous art to educate the public and put a visit to DAAF on their list. To encourage global awareness and drive attendance we worked with local, national and international media to tell a myriad of stories.
One of these stories included designer, Gorman’s collaboration with Mangkaja Arts Centre to unveil a bright and beautiful clothing range – a first for DAAF and Gorman. This saw the fashion shows at the opening of the fair draw attention and attendance from New York based influencers, Vogue Australia, and The Australian Fashion Council.
