Indigenous and Tribal

Session: Exploration of Healing: Unveiling the interconectedness of trauma, healing, and cultural resilience

Textiles as Windows Into Embodied Trauma, Resilience Narratives, and Healing Spaces for Indigenous Knowledge

Saturday, October 26, 2024
4:45 PM – 5:15 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Room 2101
Indigenous and tribal community AIDS Memorial Quilt panels offer a window into the important role that textile arts play in community storytelling; communicating trauma and resiliency narratives; facilitating healing; and building agency through social action. Consideration is given to textiles as a tool for building culturally aware and competency-based curriculum.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand interdisciplinary strategies for expanding the person-in-environment perspective to build culturally aware curriculum accounting for lived social, political, and historical realities of indigenous and tribal communities.
  2. Incorporate textile arts into education and practice spaces addressing trauma and resilience in indigenous and tribal communities.
  3. Speak to the AIDS Memorial Quilt as one example of social action, trauma embodiment and healing through the lens of indigenous and tribal communities.
