Our events bring research-creation into shared, public, and communal contexts through exhibitions, workshops, community gatherings, and conferences.
Our exhibitions are often site-specific, developed in relation to land and community, and include immersive installations integrating media arts, computation, and Indigenous knowledge systems. Workshops are linked to initiatives such as the LandMarks courses, supporting hands-on learning around land-based practice, AI experimentation, and emerging technologies. Community gatherings take place in Six Nations of the Grand River and other regional communities, creating spaces for cultural exchange and intergenerational knowledge sharing. OTEKH also convenes symposia and conferences, including preparations for its first conference on Indigenous AI and data sovereignty, and recently hosted the Abundant Intelligences AGM.
