CO-CREATE contributors met at the Foundation for Siberian Cultures for a three-day workshop in Fürstenberg. They explored their diverse backgrounds, political implications of Indigenous rights, and colonial legacies in the Arctic. They also discussed knowledge co-creation, contexts around knowledge production and transmission, and just forms of knowledge exchange. Illustrating these discussions, Charleen Fisher brought sewing and beading materials from Alaska to share Gwich’in knowledge with the group. The workshop was followed by meetings with museum curators in Berlin and Leipzig to discuss processes of restitution and repatriation with Indigenous rights-holders in the context of colonial collections in German museums. Throughout the workshop, the group also spent informal time together, which is an important precondition for trust, respectful exchange, and joint practice.
