Join artist and researcher, Dr Lorina L. Barker, and researcher, Dr Eliza Kent in exploring ethical practices for engaging in art projects with First Nations artists and communities. The first of three online talks hosted by Arts North West, the speakers will share how NAVA's Code of Practice has been applied in their own work and practice to uphold the rights of the First Nations communities they are working with. Included in their offerings are critical insights into how First Nations communities can direct projects, the importance for communities to see benefits during the process and co-designing with community.
Dr Lorina Barker is a descendant of the Wangkumara and Muruwari people (northwest NSW), Adnyamathanha (Flinders Ranges SA), Kooma and Kunja (southwest QLD), and Kurnu-Baarkandji (northwest NSW). Lorina is an oral historian / filmmaker / artist who uses multimedia for community art-based projects to transfer knowledge, history, stories and culture to next generations, in familiar mediums including visual art, digital media, short stories and poetry.
