The term ‘Indigenous’ refers to people living on the territory inhabited by their ancestors since time immemorial. Although some Indigenous peoples sometimes use the word ‘Indian’, among other externally imposed denominations, it generally carries a colonialist connotation. ‘Autochtone’ is the French translation for the English terms Indigenous, Native, and Autochthonous. In French, the word ‘Indigène’ carries a colonialist connotation but is sometimes used by those concerned to highlight political marginalisation, cultural stigmatisation and experiences of diaspora and dispossession. Artist and curator Léuli Eshrāghi thus articulates the need for reparation and healing of indigenous cultures discredited by colonialism, but also the necessity to use them as sources of inspiration for the remaking of material and immaterial practices.
