As part of its pluriannual programme co-funded by the European Union, On the Move proposes Cultural Mobility Webinars to investigate collectively international artistic and cultural mobility. Together with partners, the network conceives these online sessions as knowledge-building and peer-to-peer exchange, strengthening training activities and inviting guest experts to share their lived experience and views in order to help us embrace different perspectives on key transversal topics such as democratic cultural participation, inclusive and accessible opportunities, fundamental rights, and more.
This Cultural Mobility Webinar will focus on the international circulation of Indigenous artists and the collective consideration of several key areas to provide a comprehensive understanding of the essential aspects of Indigenous arts professionals’ circumstances.
It appears necessary to enhance knowledge regarding the contemporary practices of Indigenous artists and to analyse the routes and destinations of their international mobility. This includes identifying the factors influencing destination choices, such as bilateral and multilateral cultural exchange programmes, and opportunities for international exploration, creation, learning, and connection.
The webinar will delve into the nature of cultural exchanges and collaborations between Indigenous artists and their international counterparts. Panellists will be invited to share their lived experiences and assess the impact of these exchanges on artistic practices and cultural preservation.
Additionally, the webinar will shed light on funding, grants, and market opportunities, as well as existing policies and strategies that either facilitate or hinder the international mobility of indigenous artists.
Panellists will also be invited to explore how Indigenous artists maintain and express their cultural identity in international contexts and to evaluate the representation of Indigenous cultures in global art scenes, including the potential for misrepresentation or appropriation.
