Abstract
The workshop aims to create a dialogue around the importance of art in identity formation through the means of forum theatre, free painting, slam poetry, and building with clay. The four facilitators (founders of SICCA-Sustainable Indigenous Centre for Collaborative Arts) demonstrate activities that we have organised in our past residencies and use them to showcase our Mission and Vision. SICCA aims to bridge the gap between rural artists and global audiences through the use of technology, and by hosting residencies lead and facilitated by the artists themselves. Our mission is to equip indigenous arts and crafts practitioners through digital literacy programs, residencies, art in education modules and online networking platforms. This workshop is used to demonstrate our applied strategies so far and ends with an open forum for more ideas, information and discussion. We hope to also bring in the conversation of Culture Appreciation as opposed to Appropriation, the ethics of community engagement, especially while working in remote areas, and the challenges of the same.
