Description

Indigenous Living-Legacy Archives: Memory Story Innovations for our Time. This project aims to investigate Indigenous community and colonial archives as powerful sites of social and cultural memory, and creative intervention. These sites can locate, repatriate, and transform fundamental narratives of history and collective memory to reassert and determine Indigenous voice and agency. This work partners with peak Indigenous arts and archive networks to demonstrate the value of Indigenous living-legacy archive innovations and initiatives for cultural preservation and renewal, through unique community-led modes of storytelling. It benefits community wellbeing and healing through self-determined knowledge production and memory stories of local and global impact, and truth-telling legacy work for future generations.. Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 4501 - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Culture, Language and History. Lead: A/Prof Natalie Harkin
