A Vital Matters Theme: Indigeneity

All Themes

Indigeneity

Foregrounding the knowledge of Indigenous communities past and present, this theme explores how artistic forms convey relationships to land, cosmology, kinship, and memory. Viewpoints reflect responses to colonial disruption, the continuity of ancestral practices, and ongoing acts of cultural and political sovereignty. Emphasis is placed on Indigenous worldviews as living systems of knowledge, transmitted through material culture, language, and art.
