Message from Cairns Indigenous Art Fair Artistic DirectorNow in its second year, Cairns Indigenous Art Fair has evolved into a jigsaw of broader elements than one would expect to find in an art fair. Built around galleries that exhibit Indigenous artists from Queensland, and a small selected exhibition, it is possibly the most focused art fair on the national calendar. We have devised an event that mixes the urban contemporary and remote traditional, that brings Indigenous art centres, commercial and public galleries, service and education organisations, and art magazines into the same context, and through the CIAF Symposium, provides a forum for debate and education. And our dynamic performance program acknowledges the connection, in the traditional context, of the visual and performing arts, a relationship that usually disappears in the

nontraditional context — visual art goes to a gallery, performing arts to a theatre.

Enjoy the 2O1O Art Fair. MICHAEL SNELLING

Middle years 6 - 9The War for the land: A Short History” of Aboriginal-European relations in Cairns. http://www.cairnsmuseum.org.au/aboriginal.htm

Conflict between Aborigines and Europeans began almost immediately after the first arrival of settlers in Cairns in October 1876. Before this time early navigators had passed through the seas off Cairns, but had had little or no contact with the Aborigines.

Relations between Aboriginals and Europeans began poorly. Apart from some trade between the two peoples, the attitude of the Europeans towards the Aborigines in Cairns was one of contempt, fear and hatred. Aborigines at first tried to fit Europeans into their society. They found whites hard to deal with because they broke Aboriginal law and took food from Aboriginal land without permission. Soon they became angry and tried to punish white “misbehaviour”. Beche-de-mer fishermen started this change in trust because they often kidnapped Aborigines to work for them, almost as slaves.
