Event overview
Conference/Art Exhibition/Indigenous Artists.
The American Indian Workshop (AIW) was founded in 1980 and has become the most important European scholarly platform for researchers concerned with topics related to the Native Peoples of North America. The AIW also includes scholars from all over the world.
A number of analyses focusing on the cultural and political concerns of Native American artists have been offered in recent times. Accordingly, many scholars working in the field of Native American Literary Studies have become interested in the connection between aesthetics and activism. The theme of the thirty-eighth AIW has been chosen in recognition of this fact, and the increased amount of attention that is being paid to the intersection between indigenous arts and contemporary tribal contexts. Papers will examine the complexity of the relationship between various artistic mediums and the day-to-day concerns of the Native artist; the relationship between the arts and community; and the aesthetics of resistance and resurgence.
The conference is being co-organized by Goldsmiths and the University of Kent, and includes an exhibition of contemporary Native American and First Nations artwork (Kingsway Corridor, RHB), which is open to the general public (free admission).
