Indigenous representation in arts

Indigenous representation in arts refers to the visibility and acknowledgment of Indigenous peoples’ cultures, stories, and experiences through creative works such as visual arts, performance, film, and literature. It seeks to honor their perspectives, challenge stereotypes, and ensure their voices are heard and accurately depicted. This representation promotes cultural diversity, educates broader audiences, and supports Indigenous identity and sovereignty. Increasing Indigenous presence in arts also helps address historical marginalization, fostering greater understanding, respect, and inclusion within the cultural landscape.
