Writing Our Place in History

Indigenous Curators & Critical Discourse:

From Living Archives to Future Legacies

ICCA Gathering August 24, 25, & 26 2027, Whitehorse, Yukon
In Whitehorse, 2027, the focus will be on writing and critical discourse, bringing together Indigenous writers, critics, and curators to examine how language shapes cultural sovereignty, and how publishing, media, and community-led dialogue strengthen Indigenous voices in the arts.

This gathering will focus on the role of critical writing and discourse in shaping the history and advancement of Indigenous contemporary art and curatorship. Through our partnerships we will reflect on how writing documents, critiques, and strengthens Indigenous voices in art history. Together, we will explore the importance of building living archives that preserve our perspectives while creating pathways for future legacies. By sharing experiences, strategies, and insights, participants will examine how writing and critical dialogue serve as tools of sovereignty, visibility, and transformation for Indigenous artists and curators across territories.
