Aboriginal motifs

Functions and Philosophies:

Respect:
Are the rights belonging to indigenous people that’s own and control. This covers Indigenous images, designs, stories and other cultural expressions that should be respected. This means Indigenous art can be shown everywhere and there is no rascism or direpected or no reason for allowing Indigenous art to be produced or exhibitioned.
>Acknowledgment of country
> Aboriginals and Torres Straight Islanders are the original inhabiters of this country which gives them more priority to respect their culture, rituals, art and society.
>Public art acknowledging land. For an Indigenous artist, if they were commissioned to produce art for a government project, they would have to seek approval by the Indigenous community and elders to produce work and ask if they can display their art it public.

Interpretation, integrity and authentication:
>Aboriginals believe that they should have more power and control of what cultural art goes on display for the public.
>Interpretation refers to how cultural information and art is displayed. It means that the Aboriginal community rather respond and inform how at or cultural material should be traditionally spoken about. Rather than have an outsider send the wrong message and interoperate wrong information.
>Integrity refers to the treatment of all the original work, how it it used. Work cannot be tampered, cut, edited, reused, adapting or even enhancing.
> Authentication refers to who produced the art, as in was it a true Aboriginal artist or someone else. Its raises many issues on which art can be displayed. The Artworks and materials can only be displayed if it is issued and authenticated by an Aboriginal elder and if the artist is Indigenous them self. Otherwise it would be massively produced by foreigners and be forging unauthentic art.

Moral Rights and Issues:

> If any material is offensive, should be used.
>Ask Indigenous elders for permission of use and colours to be used.
>Make sure you have a good lawyer just incase and get your logo registered asap.
>Does the work contain anything that has be used for created before?
>Is the work intended for a specific gender.
