Non-Colonial Creative Interventions: Collective Belonging through Shared Labour, Collaboration and Active Participation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
What does it mean to belong on traditional and ancestral Indigenous lands, unceded and treaty territories? Can Indigenous and Settler peoples achieve collective belonging? This paper grapples with these questions through critical engagement with the politics of belonging and three creative projects that offer concrete practices for doing decolonial and non-colonial work. Such methods include an ethics of care and storytelling as a way of sharing knowledge differently, which are put into practice when Settler peoples responsibly, respectfully, reciprocally and relevantly do the labour of decolonisation, collaborate with Indigenous communities and become active participants in decolonial and non-colonial interventions. The artistic projects discussed include: Leah Decter and Jaimie Isaac’s (official denial) trade value in progress (2009–2014), David Garneau and Clement Yeh’s Apology Dice (2013) and Victoria May and Marjolaine Arpin’s Kitchen Table Talk (2023). These projects are all examples of collaborations between Indigenous and Settler artists and ultimately support the argument that collective belonging is achievable only when continual processes of Indigenous centring and Settler unsettling are enacted in society.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
