AIS 503: Seminar in Indigenous Studies: Indigenous Creators: Storying Indigenous Futures This class will look at a range of Indigenous Creators—artists, filmmakers, theorists, environmental scientists—that all bring about possibilities for Indigenous futures in one way or another. We will privilege the visual, the hands-on, the materiality, centering us within our bodies. Yet this class will ask us to think through how this translates to our digital and disembodied and/or technologically distributed experiences. How do our bodies move through these digital spaces and what does creativity within these spaces do for knowledge creation? We will interact with various artists in hands-on activities and think about how the act of imagining, of storying, opens up the possibilities for a multitude of redemptive futures.
