Co-creation between Cultural Institutions and Indigenous organizations

This sharing-of-expertise session, presented by the McCord Museum, in collaboration with Wapikoni Mobile, will certainly appeal to all of Montreal’s artistic and cultural professionals. More than ever, the relationship between Indigenous communities and cultural institutions has become a core concerns for many organizations.

We will be addressing the process of cocreation and collaboration in the context of decolonisation and indigenization of cultural institutions and we want to invite all Indigenous cultural and artistic production organizations as well as creators, storytellers and Indigenous knowledge holders to join us in this collaborative thinking session.

In the context of cultural institutions pledging to undertake a decolonisation process, how is the conversation and collaboration with Indigenous artists, organizations, communities, and collaborators carried out? Is this a linear process? How is it developed? What was learned and what have where have we advanced to in our journey towards reconciliation?
