CONVERSATION EVENT: FIRST NATIONS FUTURES

What does a whole new world look like when it’s shaped by First Nations artists?

This conversation explores how new worlds are imagined into being through storytelling, visual language and acts of creative resistance. Across evolving practices and future-facing ideas, we consider how First Nations artists expand our understanding of what is possible: holding past, present and future in the same frame.

Bringing together contemporary First Nations voices, the panel looks at how AI and digital realms are reshaping creative practice. As artists move through these shifting technologies, they navigate questions of authorship, control and cultural knowledge in increasingly complex digital spaces.

Hear from April Phillips, Axel Garay, Allara Briggs Pattison, Hayden Ryan + more.
