The Productivity Commission recently released a draft report on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Visual Arts and Crafts. At Bulurru, we are focused on ensuring Aboriginal Story and Culture are promoted and protected in all that we do. Our artists receive royalties on every product sold using their artwork. We work closely with our artists when designing new products to ensure they are happy to have their artwork used.
While we can outline how we work with out artists, we thought it best for you to hear from one of our artists themselves, Kathleen Buzzacott:
"There are a lot of bad legally binding licencing agreements being signed by unsuspecting Indigenous artists. I am very happy to be a part of a team of artists that has signed a really good licencing agreement with Bulurru. I see that Bulurru do their best to do right by their artists. They are transparent in all they do from maintaining the integrity of the art works, to making sure we artists are paid fair commission in royalties each month. Its refreshing to be working honest people. I advise any Indigenous artist before signing a licencing agreement to get legal advise from Arts Law."
To browse our artists, their stories and their artwork, head to: www.kinoxvietnam.com/pages/artists
If you know of an Aboriginal Artist that would be a great addition to our team, please contact us at: [email protected]

Bulurru is how Djabugay refer to the Dreaming. Storywaters, or locations associated with the Dreaming as well as the ancestral beings associated with them are known as Bulurru. Bulurru is considered to be 'the source and condition of all life and is ever-present in the land and people'.

Some Djabugay people today think of Bulurru as 'our God', as distinct from the Christian God they were taught to worship in the mission. Others think of Bulurru as simply the Djabugay name for the one and only God, also the Christian God, which they have always worshipped

As the child of European immigrants born in Australia I naturally had family living in Europe, whom I would visit from time to time. My husband from France was one of eight children living all around the world. Thirty years ago, one could only buy the proverbial key ring or a teaspoon to take as a souvenir gift. I thought if I gave another stuffed Koala bear I would be sent home with it!

This got us thinking that surely we cannot be the only travellers with this problem and that there was a niche in the market place for good quality artistic souvenirs unique to Australia.What could this be? 
It hit us like a bolt of lightening! "Australian Aboriginal Art".
It's so beautiful, so unique and so recognisable as Australian.
Well, had we known then what we know now, would we have gone ahead? Most definitely!

We were trailblazers in those days - energetic, young and adventurous and that is what was needed to start a totally new industry in a young country like Australia. Where and how does one start such a undertaking? Well it was all trial and error thirty years ago and we were the first company to endeavour to set up a business where by the Aboriginal Artists and Communities would receive royalties.

Firstly my husband and business partner Sam packed his bags and bought a ticket to fly to the Northern Territory (five hours to Darwin) and then many hours driving to Kakadu.
The roads were dirt roads in those days so one had to drive in a four wheel drive sometimes avoiding crocodiles and Kangaroos crossing the road! His idea was to venture into the outback communities to discuss the possibility of licensing some Aboriginal Art to produce on commercial products for which we would offer royalty payment directly to the artists and the communities.

I on the other hand, spent six months in the National Library researching Aboriginal Art in the archives....down in the dungeons below ground level blowing the dust of the books as I educated myself about the laws and traditions of Aboriginal culture and Aboriginal Art.

A few days ago, Bulurru received a beautiful email from a customer telling us a story about where our fabric had ended up.  We were so touched that we asked if we could share the email with our online community - so here it is! 

"I just wanted to pass on a photo of my 80 year old mum in a kaftan made from your fabric that my grandmother made her over 25 years ago, could be over 30 years ago. She loves it and always has people ask where did she buy it? It's a great piece for traveling which is what my mum does best. Just thought you'd like to see that your fabric is truly loved. She also has a green colour-way too. Both are favourites".
