Abstract

This issue aims to contribute to ongoing discussions in decolonial thought and visual culture studies regarding the potentialities of othered approaches to image-making beyond Western-centred conceptualizations of the image and its visualities. Specifically, this publication looks at the importance of Indigenizing visual cultural studies in order to effectively decolonize an inter-discipline that has historically obviated its Western-centric biases. Drawing upon the concepts of decolonial aestheSis, the right to look, and Indigenous visual sovereignty, this issue presents texts addressing the Indigenization of visual culture as a means for decolonizing the fields of visual culture studies and contemporary art studies.
