Abstract

Dr. Kimberly Christen will discuss the production and implementation of the
Mukurtu Wumpurrarni-kari Archive in Tennant Creek at the Nyinkka Nyunyu Art
and Culture Centre. Specifically she will address issues of co-production in
working with Aboriginal communities, collaborative design, and leveraging
digital technologies to work with 

Aboriginal cultural protocols in relation to the circulation of an access to
cultural materials and knowledge.

 

Dr Kimberly Christen is an Assistant Professor at Washington State
University in Pullman, Washington. She has an inter-disciplinary PhD from
the 

History of Consciousness Program at the University of California at Santa
Cruz. Her primary research involves examining contemporary indigenous
alliances primarily in Australia but with comparative analysis globally. She
has worked in Tennant Creek, N.T. Australia over the last decade with
Warumungu community members. She is currently involved in research exploring
the overlap of indigenous cultural heritage, intellectual property rights
and the use of digital technologies in and by indigenous communities.
