Happy Monday All
Coming up on Wednesday 24th May, the OutLOUD - First Nations LGBTIQA+SB Writing and Story Project will be holding an Arts Law Workshop with The Arts Law Centre of Australia on campus at Tranby Aboriginal Co-operative in Glebe.
Join Arts Law and Tranby Aboriginal Co-operative for this exciting presentation on Legal Protection for First Nations Writers.
The session will cover concepts like
(i) Copyright – what rights you have, why they matter and who owns them,
(ii) Moral rights – your right to be credited and to have the integrity of your work respected,
and (iii) Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property – how to think about protecting First Nations language, knowledge, stories, culture, and heritage in your work.
There will be concrete examples (eg, what happens if you’re collaborating?), tips and tricks, and time for questions at the end.
The Arts Law Centre of Australia is the only national community legal centre dedicated to the arts in Australia. It provides free or low cost legal advice to creators and has a special service ‘Artists in the Black’ dedicated to assisting First Nations creators around the country.
Its work spans telephone legal advice, document reviews, advocacy on law reform issues, and legal education. Arts Law also has a huge catalogue of resources for creators—template contracts, information sheets, guides, and checklists.
