Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article examines Indigenous artist interventions challenging settler-colonial narratives at heritage sites, focusing on Rebecca Belmore’s Rising to the Occasion and Twelve Angry Crinolines during the 1987 royal tour of Thunder Bay. This performance is situated within a history of Indigenous resistance during British royal visits (1973 and 1987, respectively) to Old Fort William Historical Park that activates visual sovereignty. In their critique of the park’s Eurocentric fur trade narratives, the authors position Belmore’s performance as a conceptual ‘artist-history’ intervention, offering possibilities for rethinking curatorial responsibilities and advancing decolonizing practices in cultural institutions, particularly heritage sites and historic museums.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
