Define Indian (2005-06) was an evolving series of panel discussions that fosters an inter-communal dialogue between South Asian and First Nations arts communities. Connected to the practice and process of education, these discussions are set in academic institutions across Canada.
SAVAC and TRIBE collaborated in order to bring forth recognition of their similar status as artist-run centres without a gallery space and as artist-run centres that serve specific cultural communities. The dialogue from these panel discussions started the building blocks of our ongoing relationship between the two communities. This even first took place at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design (Vancouver), followed by the University of Saskatchewan (Saskatoon) and finally, at the Ontario College of Art and Design (Toronto).
