Indigenous Business Market

In celebration of Indigenous Business Month, CSIRO is proud to host an Indigenous Business Market as part of our commitment to supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses.

This marketplace provides a platform for Indigenous artists, designers, entrepreneurs and businesses to showcase their products and offerings. It’s also an opportunity to connect directly with creators, learn the stories behind their work and make ethical purchases – with 100% of the proceeds going directly to Indigenous stallholders. You’ll find a variety of goods, including:

  • Art, homewares and jewellery
  • Fashion, clothing and kids items
  • Textiles, woodwork and woven goods
  • Plants and bushfoods
  • Baked goods incorporating bush tucker flavours
  • Skincare products crafted from native ingredients.

Live music

Mi-Kaisha performing on stage, holding a microphone and standing in front of golden curtains

12pm to 1.30pm – Mi-Kaisha

Growing up on the streets of her local music scene, the soundtrack of her childhood included soulful 90s tunes and island music of her father’s Koori Radio hip-hop show “Island Hopping.” She describes herself as a city girl through and through and represents a beautifully melted dichotomy of sweet and deadly. Her contagious R&B Soul, pop melodies and layerings of harmonies points towards the vibrant palette of sonics in her back pocket and her intuition to create with versatility.

Jesse performs outdoors, playing an acoustic guitar and singing into a microphone

1.30pm to 3pm – Jesse

Jesse is a star on the rise. Hailing from Wollongong, Jesse writes original music with a contemporary Indigenous focus. With deep respect for preceding First Nations artists and his cultural past, Jesse focuses on the future and shares the essence of his being through his heartfelt life stories, from dating and love to childhood reflections, futuristic fantasies, and understanding his place in culture. Not to be constrained by labels, Jesse's music has been described as soulful, Indie, Pop and Blues.
