About The New Sun Conference
Since 2002, the New Sun Conference on Aboriginal Arts has brought together individuals from various First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities, as well as from the non-Aboriginal community. Presenters have included those with expertise in photography, painting, sculpture, film, acting, music, curating, arts education, literature and the culinary arts. The conference honours and seeks to raise public awareness of individuals whose work affirms contemporary Aboriginal experience and contributes to greater cross-cultural understanding. All conference presentations have been videotaped and archived in the Carleton University library.
