19.01.2022 Sharing DAAFF Yarns with First Nations artist Lisa Waup Lisa’s art practice incorporates weaving, printmaking, photography, sculpture, textiles and installation, eloquently illustrating her life’s journey through discovery and connection. Part of Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation (DAAFF)’s mission is to help light the path and create platforms that celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and fashion design, share cultural knowledge, and make connections wit...h, and between, the incredible artists and designers we represent.
