Arctic/Amazon Symposium (as Research Assistant)
The Arctic/Amazon project at the Wapatah: Centre for Indigenous Visual Knowledge is premised on the understanding that artists integrate notions of spirituality, ancestral respect, traditional knowledges, and political critique into their processes of making and presenting their work.
Envisioned as a multi-phase interdisciplinary project, the 2019 Symposium centralized Indigenous ontological approaches to develop interconnections between Amazonian Indigenous and Inuit thinkers, artists, and activists whose works address climate change midst shifting political times.
The purpose of this initial Symposium was to foster and facilitate a collaborative framework in which participants from Inuit and primarily Brazilian-based Amazonian communities could share their knowledges and consider future work together. This symposium was the first of its kind to provide an in-depth artistic and Indigenous-led exploration of these geographies.
