Artists, curators, and researchers come together in this roundtable to address decolonization in the arts and the representation of Indigenous artists, through a comparative lens between Europe and North America.

What does it mean to be an artist from a marginalized community today? Are we witnessing a real transformation in the representation of these artists within cultural institutions in general, and in the music world in particular? As part of a broader focus on contemporary creation in Québec and Canada, this roundtable brings together artists and specialists in Indigenous recognition and decolonial issues to examine institutional practices and initiatives aimed at redefining power dynamics in the contemporary arts field.

Speakers:

• Nadia Ratsimandresy, artist, composer and performer, Director of GRAME in Lyon
• Sonia Robertson, Innu artist and curator from the Indigenous community of Mashteuiatsh
• Dylan Robinson, xwélmexw artist and writer, Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver
• Elisabeth St-Gelais, Innu opera singer from the Indigenous community of Pessamit
• Moderator: Aurélie Journée-Duez, PhD in Anthropology and Art History
• Co-organized by: Festival Musica, Le Vivier, and Futurs Composés
