Viewing ofReference Material
Art students and others conducting research are welcome to make an appointment with us to view the works listed in the adjacent table.
It is also recommended for Europeans to use the online search system at KVK (Karlsruher Virtueller Katalog), in which all German and many European scholarly libraries list their available references. Sometimes the works are available for loan.
A list of further references about Australian art, which however are not yet in our reference collection, is also maintained and continually extended.

Cover Text
Indigenos Histories brings together a wide cross-section of perspectives on the Indigenous histories of the American, Oceania, and Scandinavia through the lens of art and visual culture. This catalog accompanies a group exhibition of the same name, organized by the Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (MASP) in partnership with the Kode Bergen Art Museum, curated by Indigenous artists and researchers and those of Indigenous ancestry, who explore their territories' own histories and highlight Indigenous activisms around the globe. Eight curatorial essays explore the works on display within the exhibition in their variety of media, typologies, and origins, from the time that preceded colonization to the present. Rather than attempting to produce a comprehensive guide, this selection of regional histories aims to foster dialogues between disparate Indigenous points of view, introducing relevant conversations in the context of their complexity. This is an essential book for anyone interested in Indigenous arts, histories and cultures around the world today.
