Transmissions: Sharing Indigenous Knowledge and Histories in the Digital Era

A three-day symposium organized by Heather Igliorte, on contemporary Indigenous film, media arts and exhibitionary practice featuring Canadian artists, filmmakers, scholars, and curators.

"Transmissions: Sharing Indigenous Knowledge and Histories in the Digital Era" is a three-day collaborative event including workshops, a film screening, an interactive art installation and a public symposium. Transmissions will explore the interface of Indigenous knowledge and oral history with digital technologies, experimental museology, and new communicative forms in twenty-first century exhibition and artistic practice.

The symposium provides an opportunity for prominent academics, curators and museum professionals to discuss their recent research in the fields of Indigenous exhibition and curatorial practice, particularly as it relates to the experimental interface of museum work, art, and technology, and to enter into dialogue with Indigenous artists and arts professionals who also employ new media and digital technologies in their artistic practice.
