About the Event
The Program in Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) presents:
Latin America has seen a steady rise in indigenous audiovisual production since the mid-1980s, often involving collaborative efforts between indigenous and non-indigenous groups. These productions serve as platforms for affirming knowledge, advocating for land and environmental rights, and addressing digital rights issues. Ana María Ochoa Gautier, a professor at Tulane University, focuses her work on decolonial histories of listening and sound studies in Latin America and the Caribbean. Her research explores the intersection of sound, indigeneity, and climate change, with upcoming work examining the bioacoustics of colonial histories.
