Our June issue of the CSQ magazine is dedicated to Indigenous artists who are using art as a medium to combat the ongoing challenges of racist and colonialist erasure, cultural appropriation, and exploitation. Through their work, Indigenous artists are striving to break down barriers and debunk racist stereotypes while showcasing Indigenous brilliance. For centuries, colonization, globalization, and capitalism have interrupted Indigenous Peoples’ cultural continuity as well as the intergenerational transmission of knowledge and cultural practice of the arts. Through storytelling and performing arts, Indigenous artists are reclaiming narratives and creating a resurgence of Indigenous knowledge. Join us in a conversation about the importance of Indigenous arts and meet our new Bazaar Program Manager.

Nuestra edición de junio de la revista CSQ está dedicada a los artistas Indígenas que utilizan el arte como medio para combatir los desafíos actuales de la desaparición, la apropiación cultural y la explotación racista y colonialista. A través de su trabajo, los artistas Indígenas se esfuerzan por derribar barreras y desacreditar los estereotipos racistas mientras muestran el esplendor Indígena. Durante siglos, la colonización, la globalización y el capitalismo han interrumpido la continuidad cultural de los Pueblos Indígenas, así como la transmisión intergeneracional de conocimientos y prácticas culturales de las artes. A través de la narración y las artes escénicas, los artistas Indígenas están recuperando narrativas y creando un resurgimiento del conocimiento Indígena. Únase a una conversación sobre la importancia de las artes Indígenas y conozca a nuestra nueva gerente del Programa Bazar.
