Lecture: Keywords in Indigenous Arts: Theoretical Framings

Location: Teatro Ca' Foscari, Calle Larga S. Marta, 2137, 30123 Venice

As part of the Venice Indigenous Arts School, this public program will focus on the theoretical underpinnings of developing keywords in Indigenous arts. Often, these terms have no equivalence in Western arts terminology and, therefore, constitute a new means of contextualizing Indigenous arts, one that is centered on Indigenous ways of knowing.

Presenters: Andrea Carlson, Raven Chacon, Tanya Lukin Linklater, Dakota Mace, Isabella Robbins, Sara Siestreem, Kanako Uzawa
