By Their Work: Indigenous Women's Digital Media in North America - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

A first-of-its-kind collection to transform our understanding of digital media from Indigenous women creators

Indigenous women form a vital force in digital media production now and have over the past several decades-in fact, nearly three quarters of the projects at the 2017 imagineNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival were created by women. By Their Work highlights the prismatic nature of Indigenous women’s digital media, connecting the digital arts with their creative labor and adaptive activism.

Joanna Hearne and Karrmen Crey bring together a collection of essays and interviews to highlight the voices of powerful and important media makers, from Indigenous video game creators to animators to social media influencers and from theorists of early Indigenous digital media to current practitioners, including trans and nonbinary creators often left out of public narratives about the digital. Creating a space to hear critical voices on Indigenous media history, theory, and production, the contributors share stories, genealogies, and practices behind Indigenous women’s power and presence in the digital world.

Focusing on the history of digital media as a whole, this collection presents a compelling case for Indigenous women’s crucial roles across the history of digital forms and platforms. In doing so, By Their Work transforms digital Indigenous studies in the twenty-first century.
