INDIGEVERSE MULTIMEDIA FESTIVAL 2022

ABOUT

Come join us in a celebration of Indigenous Creativity and Resilience!

The AIHEC Indigenous Design Collective (IDC) invites all TCU students, faculty and staff to join us this April at Indigeverse – a celebration of Indigenous creativity, innovation and ingenuity spanning the sciences, humanities and the arts. Indigeverse will be an online showcase of art, writing, research, and scholarship in which all TCU students are invited to share their thoughts, ideas and work in all of the areas that matter to all of us. With the cancellation of the 2022 AIHEC Spring Conference, this will be an excellent opportunity to share, discuss and plan new ways to envision and work together to build an Indigenous Future.
