Episode 5: Heather Igloliorte—Inspiring Change from the Inside
“Let’s think about what that future looks like and then work towards it instead of holding on as tightly as we can to the old ways of doing things.”
In This Episode
Aaron Glass speaks with art historian and curator Heather Igloliorte about Indigenous futures, repatriation, and inclusive exhibition making. Using detailed real world examples Igloliorte articulates with alacrity and optimism how universities and museums can work towards being more supportive and inclusive of Indigenous peoples and perspectives.

The Fields of the Future podcast amplifies the voices and highlights the work of scholars, artists, and writers who are injecting new narratives into object-centered thinking. Join us for engaging conversations between BGC faculty and fellows and their guests.
At Bard Graduate Center, we seek to understand the world through things, both the luxurious ones produced for the few, and the more utilitarian ones produced for the many. At our New York City campus, we offer MA and PhD programs, Gallery exhibitions, research initiatives, and public events that explore new ways of thinking about decorative arts, design history, and material culture.
