In this episode, we speak with Candice Hopkins, executive director and chief curator of Forge Projects, whose work as a citizen of the Carcross/Tagish First Nation centers on decolonizing institutions and integrating Indigenous knowledge within and beyond exhibition spaces. Drawing from a worldview where art, land, water, and culture are inseparable, Candice reflects on how Indigenous communities perceive art as part of a broader ecosystem rather than a segregated discipline. This conversation was recorded in collaboration with CIMAM during their 56th Annual Conference in Los Angeles, where Candice spoke on “Sustainable Communities: Indigenous Perspectives and Worldviews.”
