Digitising the indigenous and indigenising the digital: Using new technologies to create ethically minded paths for circulation of traditional dances

Explore and critique the possibilities that new digital technologies convey for the safeguarding of indigenous dances and intangible cultural heritage practices. Blockchain, motion-capture, and other digitisation tools are to be examined within the margins wherein they are embedded: intellectual property, interculturalism and accessibility issues. The interdisciplinary methodology aims to deliver theoretical and critical frameworks for future development of reliable decentralised applications.
