Revitalising Indigenous Heritage Through Art Participatory Practices
Pages 7 - 12
Abstract
In the age of the Anthropocene, interdisciplinary practices are seen as powerful methodologies to re-draw and re-learn our connections. Fine Art practices that examine and rethink the position of ecology, indigenous heritage and natural processes are gaining momentum and critical force. Moving away from a western-centric vision, they attempt to present new connections with the environment and cultural diversity of marginalised communities. With this concept in mind, the following paper showcases and examines how art-based methodologies can play a crucial role in the urgent need to preserve endangered heritage. This, in the context of an indigenous community of Penan people, based in the village of Long Lamai, in Borneo, Malaysia.
