This seminar course engages with critical theories and practices in Indigenous contemporary art, public space and curatorial methods. Night festivals and public art have been pushing the boundaries of public and private spheres. This course reflects on Indigenous theory, curatorial methods and methodologies, and concepts in art history, museum studies, geography, colonialism, place, race, gender, ability and sexuality. The course investigates concepts of the land, concepts of space and place, and contemporary arts institutions within Canada and abroad.
