Transmediation as method and intervention: The woven artwork of Jaad Kuujus (Meghann O'Brien)

This article positions Haida, Irish, and Kwakwaka'wakw artist Jaad Kuujus (Meghann O'Brien)'s transmediation of her woven artwork in conversation with Indigenous curatorial practices in physical and virtual spaces. Transmediation is presented as a <i>method</i> for engaging with decolonial practices in museums and archives using research-creation and collaborative media production, and an <i>intervention</i> to provoke consideration of new possibilities for the digital in museum practice that moves beyond the replica (see Hennessy et al., 2024) as a generative force shifting theory and practice.

Abstract

This article positions Haida, Irish, and Kwakwaka'wakw artist Jaad Kuujus (Meghann O'Brien)'s transmediation of her woven artwork in conversation with Indigenous curatorial practices in physical and virtual spaces. Transmediation is presented as a <i>method</i> for engaging with decolonial practices in museums and archives using research-creation and collaborative media production, and an <i>intervention</i> to provoke consideration of new possibilities for the digital in museum practice that moves beyond the replica (see Hennessy et al., 2024) as a generative force shifting theory and practice.
