Master of Creative Enterprise

Drum Song: The rhythm of life is an Indigenous filmmaking project generating diverse short-form content alongside a guidebook to Indigenous community engagement. Arising through a co-creative filmmaking process within Alaska's Indigenous and scientific communities, the work gives voice to native peoples' responses to the climate crisis and its Arctic impacts. Through a decolonial lens, the research positions the filmmaker as a "listener" to explore cultural meaning-making as a relational process of "multiple-eyed seeing".
