*First Symposium of the International Council for Traditional Music 
(ICTM) Study Group for Music and Dance in Indigenous and Postcolonial 
Contexts, National Dong Hwa University, Taiwan, 29 June to 2 July 2020*

The ICTM Study Group for Music and Dance in Indigenous and Postcolonial 
Contexts will hold its first Symposium at the National Dong Hwa 
University, Taiwan, from 29 June to 2 July 2020.

This Study Group is concerned with research and documentation into 
repertoires, epistemologies and applications of music, dance and 
ceremony across the fullest array of indigenous and postcolonial 
contexts worldwide. This includes national contexts in which indigenous 
peoples still struggle to have their sovereignty and rights recognised, 
as well as those from which former colonial powers have withdrawn, yet 
their institutional structures remain. The Study Group is a forum for 
cooperation among music and dance scholars and practitioners to share 
and discuss music, dance and ceremony in these contexts, as well as 
their connections to underpinning indigenous epistemologies and 
processes of knowledge production, the mediation of national and 
subaltern aspirations, conceptualisations of community and place, and 
strategies for cultural sustainability and survival.It encourages 
research into indigenous music and dance from a broad range of 
performative, theoretical, methodological and applied perspectives. This 
can include, but is not limited to, studies concerning composition, 
performance, dissemination, community cohesion, wellbeing, policy, 
resourcing, human rights, equity, collections, formal and informal 
learning, maintenance, and the environment.

The First Symposium’s overarching theme will be: *Ontologies and 
Epistemologies of Indigenous Music and Dance*.

We therefore invite proposals for presentations that share research into:

1.indigenous ontologies and epistemologies of being and knowing through 
music and dance

2.indigenous knowledge production, curation and transmission through 
music and dance

3.colonial and postcolonial impacts on indigenous music and dance

4.expressions of personal, social and/or environmental ‘harmony’ in 
indigenous music and dance

5.indigenous knowledges, intellectual property, and copyright

6.research co-design and collaboration with indigenous performers

7.continuity and change in indigenous music and dance

Types of presentation can include papers of 20 min, themed group panels 
of 90–120-min, lecture–demonstrations, concerts, and workshops.
