Hill, Christine Lalonde et Rachelle Dickenson, conseillés par les commissaires Candice Hopkins, Ariel Smith et Carla Taunton, ainsi que par une équipe d'experts du monde entier. .

Art, performance, and spoken or now written text, all belong to the same register of cultural practice in the First Nations I am familiar with or belong to: ceremony. This ceremonial register takes place in a set of spaces created to enact cultural responsibilities to place, people and balance. Galleries and museums, as sites of cultural production and presentation, have the potential to nurture new ceremonies and new working methods.

In this edition, we consider Ancestral materiality, intellectual traditions and expressions spanning the great oceans, skies and lands connecting the kin and Country of First Peoples from around the world. We see the artistic, economic and cultural paradigms as a reflection on life and death, on black holes and shining stars illuminated as constellations in the night skies from the times of our Ancestors and traced in the footprints made on the lands we travel.

"This book investigates international Indigenous methodologies in art curatorial practice from the geographic spaces of Canada, Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Australia. From a perspective of Indigenous peoples important place within society, this collection explores how Indigenous art and culture operate within and from a structural framework that is unique and is positioned outside of the non-Indigenous cultural milieu. Through a selection of contributions, Becoming Our Future articulates this perspective, defines Indigenous curatorial practice and celebrates Indigenous sovereignty within the three countries. It begins to explore the connections and historical moments that draw Indigenous curatorial practices together and the differences that set them apart. This knowledge is grounded in continuous international exchanges and draws on the breadth of work within the field.

Haerenga Wairua / Spiritual Journeys explore le cinéma maori en tant que 4e cinéma, dans son articulation de la spiritualité maorie comme un ensemble de croyances et de pratiques vivantes et d’une grande pertinence pour ce XXIe siècle. Après une brève description des termes et croyances clés, l’auteure analyse deux longs-métrages de fiction récents, The Strength of Water (Armagan Ballantyne, scr Briar Grace-Smith, NZ & Allemagne 2009) et The Pā Boys (Himiona Grace, NZ, 2014) comme emblématiques des pratiques cinématographiques autochtones, en ce qu’ils mettent fortement en avant différents niveaux et expériences de transformation spirituelle, via divers voyages au propre comme au figuré : voyages réels, voyages psychologiques ET expériences après la mort, donc voyages spirituels. Positionnant ces films dans le contexte des traditions spirituelles de narration littéraire et cinématographique, l’auteure explore les diverses techniques filmiques et cinématographiques mises en œuvre pour rendre l’expérience spirituelle, via le son et l’image, en mettant en évidence les liens avec la Terre, l’Eau et l’environnement naturel en tant qu’éléments spirituels et souvent surnaturels. Alors que ces derniers sont généralement interprétés par les critiques et chercheurs allochtones comme étant de l’ordre du fantastique, dans le discours établi du réalisme magique, l’auteure avance plutôt que les représentations autochtones ne peuvent être ni expliquées ni contenues de manière adéquate par ce terme, et propose à sa place celui de « réalisme spirituel autochtone ». L’auteure conclut en soulignant la pertinence de voix autochtones comme celles-là, qui expriment une spiritualité enracinée dans l’interdépendance de tous êtres et de toutes choses : force de guérison dans notre planète meurtrie.

Artists and cultural practitioners from Indigenous communities around the world are increasingly in the international spotlight. As museums and curators race to consider the planetary reach of their art collections and exhibitions, this publication draws upon the challenges faced today by cultural workers, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to engage meaningfully and ethically with the histories, presents and futures of Indigenous cultural practices and world-views. Sixteen Indigenous voices convene to consider some of the most burning questions surrounding this field. How will novel methodologies of word/voice-crafting be constituted to empower the Indigenous discourses of the future? Is it sufficient to expand the Modernist art-historical canon through the politics of inclusion? Is this expansion a new form of colonisation, or does it foster the cosmopolitan thought that Indigenous communities have always inhabited? To whom does the much talked-of 'Indigenous Turn' belong? Does it represent a hegemonic project of introspection and revision in the face of today's ecocidal, genocidal and existential crises?"--Page 4 de la couverture.

Indigenous Art New Media and the Digital convenes leading scholars, curators, and artists from the Indigenous territories in Canada, the United States of America, Australia, and Aotearoa (New Zealand). It brings forth urgent conversations about resistance to colonial modernism, and highlights the historic and ongoing use of technology by Indigenous communities and artists as vehicles of resilience and cultural continuity. This issue ignites productive dialogue around the definitions of new and digital media art and practice-based work within the framework of Indigenous art and theory

The goal of this research is to examine Aboriginal feature film production in Canada, specifically within the genre of drama. This report documents the rise of Indigenous cinema worldwide and examines Canada's public funding landscape including funding allocations to Aboriginal feature film production from Canada's public funders of film over a five-year period from 2007 to 2012. This report also examines the barriers to feature film production for Aboriginal content creators in Canada, and suggests areas of opportunity that can be targeted in order to boost production in this sector. Aboriginal film production is a relatively young sector, with scarce research existing on the industry. To address this gap in the available information on the sector, the researchers expanded the scope of the study beyond public funding agencies in Canada to include data from public funding agencies in Australia and New Zealand. Aboriginal feature film production in Canada is situated within a global Indigenous cinema context. Australia and New Zealand, in particular, are two pillars of global Indigenous film that offer a realistic point from which to compare Canada's progress. As a result, data from Australia and New Zealand are included in the study, as well as one model in the United States.

ouble Desire challenges the tendency by critics to perpetuate an aesthetic apartheid between Indigenous and Western art. The double desire explored in this book is that of the divided but also amplified attractions that occur between cultural traditions in places where both indigenous and colonial legacies are strong. The result, it is argued, produces imaginative transcultural practices that resist the assimilation or acculturation of Indigenous perspectives into the dominant Western...

Sakahàn' celebrates a growing international commitment to the collection, study and exhibition of indigenous art. Featuring more than 75 artists from around the world, this remarkable project places indigenous art squarely at the centre of contemporary art produced today.

Catalogue d'exposition publié à l'occasion de l'exposition tenue au Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art, Urban Shaman Contemporary Aboriginal Art, et Winnipeg Art Gallery, du 22 janvier au 8 mai 2011. Now is the moment to reconfigure our notions of time to reveal alternative ways of thinking and being for the future. In Close Encounters: The Next 500 Years Indigenous artists imagine the future within the context of present experiences and past histories. By radically reconsidering encounter narratives between native and non-native people, Indigenous prophecies, possible utopias and apocalypses, this exhibition proposes intriguing possibilities for the next 500 years. "We all in different measure have carved out the future," observes Hopi photographer and filmmaker, Victor Masayesva, in his book Husk of Time. "We are all clairvoyants, soothsayers, prophets, knowingly assuming our predictions. Close Encounters brings together over 30 Indigenous artists from across Canada, the United States, South America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, including newly commissioned work from Rebecca Belmore, Faye HeavyShield, Kent Monkman, and Edward Poitras. Jimmie Durham's sculptural work A Pole to Mark the Centre of the World (at Winnipeg) will be an ongoing critique of widely held ideas surrounding space and location, while James Luna's poignant installation The Spirits of Virtue and Evil Await my Ascension, addresses issues of ritual and the passing of time. Close Encounters showcases artists and artworks that collectively invent provocative futures from a diversity of perspectives and practices. With its myriad histories, trajectories, tensions, collisions, and self-image(s), the city of Winnipeg offers an intriguing juxtaposition for these artistic mediations. Close Encounters: The Next 500 Years presents international Indigenous perspectives in a city that in many ways also epitomizes the future of Aboriginal people in Canada. Works in multiple venues throughout the city will serve as catalysts to invent different ways of thinking, acting, and being in the world of our shared future. At this pivotal moment in time, Close Encounters invites engagement with the speculative, the prophetic, and the unknown

Chronicles the global critical reception of Aboriginal art since the early 1980s and argues for a re-evaluation of Aboriginal art's critical intervention into contemporary art.

Tourist art production is a global phenomenon and is increasingly recognized as an important and authentic expression of indigenous visual traditions. These thoughtful, engaging essays provide a comparative perspective on the history, character, and impact of tourist art in colonized societies in three areas of the world: Africa, Oceania, and North America. Ranging broadly historically and geographically, Unpacking Culture is the first collection to bring together substantial case studies on this topic from around the world.

Tribal art has greatly inspired much 20th-century Western art. But is this a cross-cultural discovery to be celebrated, or another example of Western colonial appropriation? This work, focusing on countries such as Australia and New Zealand, argues that both views are too simplistic
