A world where many worlds fit: indigenous knowledges and intercultural creativity

Gloriana’s work seeks to foreground voices that have been historically marginalized, by employing Indigenous and critical methodologies as foundational frameworks. By prioritizing these perspectives, she aims to recentre narratives and knowledge systems that have been systematically side-lined. Her presentation expands its theoretical base by incorporating Indigenous, anti-racist and feminist paradigms. Within this framework, digital art is approached as a transgressive medium that transcends the boundaries between formal and informal, physical and virtual spaces, enabling new forms of knowledge-making.

This seminar will examine how art can serve as a celebratory, emancipatory form of diversity beyond tokenistic approaches. It will demonstrate that, rather than repressing or erasing diversity, art can create spaces centred on celebrating it. In this regard, the role of art is twofold: it allows for more diverse expressions of the human experience whilst inspiring us to connect.

This event will be particularly useful to interculturalists, decolonial scholars, applied linguists, creative practitioners and curious minds.
