Short Abstract:
Visual arts created by Indigenous people are unwritten forms of storytelling by Indigenous people themselves. This panel invites researchers to explore significant visual artworks that serve as research methodologies and strategies for telling the narratives about and by Indigenous people.
Long Abstract:
Written research about Indigenous people often does not reflect their powerful voices. The present panel seeks to address visual arts created by Indigenous people, which is an opportunity for self-expression and deeper exploration of Indigenous identity. Whether a film, a piece of traditional art, or a painting made by Indigenous people, these unwritten forms of storytelling increasingly serve as an alternative narrative retold on behalf and by Indigenous people themselves. It is a form of reclamation of communication power, as well as a form of Indigenous methodology for the production of knowledge.
This panel invites indigenous and non-indigenous researchers to widely explore significant artworks and discuss initiatives, discourses, and practices emerging from Visual Arts that serve as research methodologies and strategies for telling the narratives about and by Indigenous people.
Themes for thought:
- Effectiveness of Indigenous visual arts for research purposes.
- Contemporary Indigenous visual art and continuity of traditions.
- Indigenous visual arts as a form of research methodology.
