Abstract: In a climate of New Art History, and New Museology, what does it mean to undertake research into Indigenous art and culture today? What are some of the challenges that need to be addressed? What kinds of conversations need to be articulated? And what does it all mean? This talk will engage with some of these complexities through a discussion of recent and current teaching and research projects. These prioritise working collaboratively across tribes (rather than across cultures), in a way which aims to stimulate important and ongoing discussions in courses, museums, art galleries and other spaces. Significantly, the voices of Indigenous writers, curators, and artists are presented as being the first voice that must be heard and read, rather than mediated through others. This has the potential to transform the writing of and understandings of art histories and Museum Studies on a global scale. Tihei mauriora!
