Four leading scholars on Indigenous and Aboriginal art, Marcia Crosby, Dr. Richard William Hill, Lee-Ann Martin and Dr. Jolene Rickard, will gather at the Art Gallery of Alberta for a one-day symposium on art and aesthetics.
Diverse subject matter will be considered, such as the role of Aboriginal people in early broadcast media; the Aboriginal Group of Seven and their aesthetic innovations that challenged the hierarchies of ‘modernism’ in Canada; as well as Indigenous art production within a global context. The purpose of this event is to bring forward little-known Aboriginal art histories and examine particular art practices from new points of view and methodologies.
This symposium is led and moderated by Candice Hopkins.
