PUBLIC 54 Indigenous Art:
New Media and the Digital
Editors: Heather Igloliorte, Julie Nagam, Carla Taunton
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. While showcasing Indigenous artists’ work,
it also probes the significant ways that this work contributes to—yet also intervenes
on—the fields of art history, visual, cultural and media studies. PUBLIC 54
contributors investigate contemporary Indigenous digital and new media art’s
relationships with sovereignty, self-determination, and nationhood. Altogether, the
diverse articles, artworks, and dialogues illustrate the ways that Indigenous new
media art can dynamically activate and embody Indigenous epistemologies,
cosmologies, and methodologies.
