PROMOTING AND PROTECTING THE ARTS AND CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
Promoting and protecting the arts and cultural expressions of Indigenous peoples is an ongoing project undertaken by the Indigenous Futures Research Centre. Its goal is to bring together the knowledges and experiences of Indigenous artists, scholars, and community members on issues regarding the protection and promotion of Indigenous art, practices, and cultural expressions.
In 2021, a publication entitled Promoting and Protecting the Arts and Cultural Expressions of Indigenous Peoples: A Compendium of Experiences and Actions, edited by Tony Belcourt, Heather Igloliorte, and Dylan Robinson brought together over 30 contributors in conversation on these topics.
WEBSITE LAUNCH
In celebration of the Promoting and Protecting Indigenous Arts (PPIA) website launch, the Indigenous Futures Research Centre is hosting a series of events this September 2023.
The website will consist of articles, resources, and other information from a wide range of scholars, Indigenous artists, and community members on issues regarding the cultural expressions of Indigenous peoples and the cultural appropriation of Indigenous practices and arts.
