Ten classics of Indigenous design
Blak Design Matters is the first exhibition in Australia specifically dedicated to contemporary Indigenous design. Its curator, architect and academic Jefa Greenaway, describes the show as a snapshot that “takes the pulse of what’s happening now”. Indigenous art is well known but the Blak Design Matters exhibition prompts one to think about other iconic Indigenous expressions of “design” throughout our history.

This article talks to my research in the field relating to Indigenous design in commercial practice (International and Australian Indigenous Design Charters). It places a focus on culturally oriented, Indigenous-owned businesses including design companies are now on the rise. The article provides my (subjective) list of iconic Indigenous designs. These designs are informed by the times in which they were created - yet they resonate across cultures as an enduring record of “Indigenous customs, beliefs and imaginings”.Publication classification
