*Cultural Protocols and the Arts Forum*



http://www.fpcc.ca/about-us/news-room/news10071301.aspx



*Project Summary*
Initiated by the First Peoples’ Cultural Council, and hosted by the En’owkin
Centre <http://www.enowkincentre.ca/>, the Cultural Protocols and the Arts
Forum will facilitate meaningful and solutions-focused discussion and
sharing amongst Indigenous artists and cultural people, March 3–4, 2014, in
Penticton, British Columbia.

*Project Description*
The Cultural Protocols and the Arts Forum will provide an opportunity for
approximately 50 First Nations artists, arts and culture leaders, and
community and organization representatives to meet, share and discuss work
already done to define and articulate cultural protocols and concepts of
protection, with a particular focus on supporting the current practices of
artists working in all disciplines (visual, music, dance, storytelling,
media, etc).

Participants will benefit from understanding each other’s work, and
together we will identify common concerns and priorities. The group will
explore a vision for moving forward, as well as possible models for working
together on common initiatives and actions.

The majority of participants will come from British Columbia, as well as
the rest of Canada, with a few key invited international participants.
Areas of discussion will include:
•    Defining cultural protocols
•    Models for engaging community in defining and articulating cultural
protocols
•    Models for documentation, sharing and communicating
•    Protecting traditional knowledge – the collective and the individual
•    Marks of authenticity – existing models
•    How do contemporary artists consider and navigate protocols when
making and presenting their work?
•    How do protocols accommodate the vision and practices of contemporary
experimental artists? How do we ensure we are not oppressing ourselves?
•    Differences amongst our cultures and values
•    Recommendations for future actions
•    Useful tools

*Call to Participants*
It is our intention that all attendees be contributors to the forum through
presentations, roundtable discussions and other modes of sharing.
If you would like to apply to attend, please submit:
•    Letter of interest, describing how you will contribute and how your
participation might affect your practice or the practice of FPCC artists
•    CV, bio or resume
