Sovereign Words: Indigenous Art, Curation and Criticism - Katya Garcia-Anton - Bog

Artists and cultural practitioners from Indigenous communities around the world are increasingly in the international spotlight. As museums and curators race to consider the planetary reach of their collections and exhibitions, this timely publication considers the challenges faced today by cultural workers, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, as they try to engage meaningfully with the histories, presents and futures of Indigenous cultural practices. In this volume, 16 Indigenous voices convene to consider some of the most burning questions surrounding this field. What are the novel and empowering methodologies of the future? What are the possibilities and limitations of a politics of inclusion? To whom does the much talked-of "Indigenous Turn" belong? A first-of-its-kind reader appearing at a critical moment, Sovereign Words includes perspectives across art, film, ethics, history, theory and museology.
