[Katarina Ferro]

CAEPR Seminar
Wednesday 18th June 2008, 12.30 - 2.00pm
'Indigenous Art - securing the future...'
The Senate Inquiry in Australia's Indigenous Visual Arts and Craft 
Sector - One Year On.

Cate Slocum - Doctoral Scholar, Centre for Aboriginal and Economic 
Policy Research

**The recent passing away of a significant number of senior Aboriginal 
artists has raised concern about the future of Aboriginal art. This, 
together with reports of a market flooded with second-rate work and a 
lingering anxiety that the popularity of Aboriginal art may have run its 
course animates my research on the inter-generational shift in the 
production and market for Aboriginal art.

This seminar discusses the recent Senate inquiry into the Indigenous 
visual arts and craft sector and examines what progress, if any, has 
been made since the Senate released its report in June 2007. Providing 
the most recent overview of the sector, the recommendations of the 
Senate's report /Indigenous Art - Securing the Future/ will be compared 
with those of previous reports in an attempt to determine the 
effectiveness of such inquiries on government policy and initiatives.
