Hybrid

Free, booking required (registration closes 25 April 2025)

About the event

What makes a collection of material and/or digital things an Indigenous collection? What makes a film an Indigenous film? And what makes an exhibition and its curatorial approach an Indigenous exhibition?

This symposium tackles these key questions based on a collaborative research project devoted to Indigeneities in the 21st century, which has given rise to the exhibition Fault Lines: Imagining Indigenous futures for colonial collections at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.

The full programme will be posted on the IndiGen website.
