BCNM Launches New Media Academy with Summer 2024 Indigenous Technologies Workshop
BCNM is excited to announce the launch of New Media Academy, a project built to share the latest in emerging technologies while cultivating technological equity in our communities. This summer, we're proud to present the Indigenous Technologies Workshop, a six-week online course offering our broader community a space to delve into contemporary Indigenous issues, particularly those intertwined with new media and technology. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from prominent Indigenous scholars, artists, and practitioners. Guiding the course discussions will be Sierra Edd (Diné), a coordinator of the Indigenous Technologies program.
The workshop's content is designed to address pressing topics, including Indigenous representations in film, Indigenous futurisms, the #LandBack and rematriation movement, environmentalism, and Indigenous food systems. These discussions stem from the framework of previous Indigenous Technologies lectures, which explore the intersections of technology, new media, Indigeneity, and settler-colonialism, to critically envision a sustainable technological future.
