ART 2350

This course provides an introduction to both traditional and contemporary forms of Indigenous creative and cultural practices, with a focus on the concepts, theories, and processes of contemporary Indigenous Art in North America. Topics include: assertions of Indigenous identity, truth and reconciliation, the colonial context in Canada, and connections to the land. Students will consider the critical intent of their work as it relates to current affairs and important cultural, social, and political issues. Students of all levels and backgrounds welcome. Note: Studio course. For sections where Art 2350/Indigenous Studies 2350 is offered twice weekly, an extra hour is required per week for set up and clean up.
