We are thrilled to introduce a meaningful and timely initiative within the Canadian Journal of Art Therapy—a dedicated section titled “Explorations in Anti-Colonial, Indigenous, and Two-Eyed Seeing Approaches within Art Therapy,” curated to centralize anti-oppressive, Indigenous, and decolonized research, explorations, and perspectives to reIndigenize the field of art therapy. Megan Kanerahtenha:wi Whyte, a leader in the field of reIndigenized and Two-Eyed Seeing art therapy research, is the Section Editor.
Join us in much-needed discussions, perspectives, and research that reshapes the discourse and broadens the horizons of reIndiginized art therapy with Two-Eyed Seeing approaches.
Here is the section description below:

This section centralizes anticolonial, Indigenous, and Two-Eye Seeing art therapy research and practice with an anti-oppressive and decolonized lens. It highlights the work of Indigenous art therapist researchers and practitioners, with a focus on arts-based Indigenized ways to communicate, explore, and experience art therapy Knowledge. Submissions are open to include storytelling formats, poetic inquiry, and academic research with expanded referencing that may include Indigenous Wisdom, Dreams, Elder Teachings, and Land-Based Research.
