We desire to bequest two things to our children -- the first one is roots; the other one is wings. ~Sudanese Proverb
The Cultural Industries Legal & Advisory Centre [CILAC] is a public interest law centre that strives to work
with the cultural industries sector to ensure it has an understanding of legal rights and policy issues,
has sufficient business and legal skills to achieve financial security,
and encourage the conduct of business in
a non-exploitive and culturally aware environment.
We seek to further cultural practitioners’ access to justice and legal resources within a culture of constitutional democracy and the promotion of human rights.
The Centre will provide probono and low cost, practical, specialist legal advice
and services (including advocacy, publications and education) to equip artists and the cultural sector to achieve this mission.
