The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated the marginality and precariouness of indigeneous and nomadic communities in India, erasing traditional artistic and performance based livelihoods and pushing these communities into extreme poverty. The project will create the possibilities for the translation of these creative practices to forms that can circulate in the digital creative economy, through the consolidation of the learnings and skills developed in the AHRC funded project 'Using the arts to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 among India's Indigenous and Nomadic communities'. This is crucial so that the emergence of the digital as a primary cultural space, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, does not obliterate marginalised communities in terms of their livelihood, cultural heritage and identity. During the original project, a collective of indigenous theatre practitioners and filmmakers produced a series of biweekly video-podcasts in indigenous languages bringing together artistic practices with on-ground research and documentary film making techniques to highlight the experiences and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on some of India's most marginalised groups. Drawing on this project, the follow-on funding will develop of a training module for an Indigenous Creative Leadership Programme implemented in 3 community groups, aimed at translating the creative heritage of indigenous communities, and document their realities, in a digital form. This programme will be crucial to fostering innovation and enabling the long-term sustainability of their art, livelihood and knowledge base. The project will further generate a searchable archive of audio-visual material of the creative heritage of indigenous communities produced during the original AHRC project. This searchable archive will be given an active life through the production of a collaborative multimodal publication (including videos, photographs, stories, poetry) that will tell the stories of these communities with links to the original material. This will enable the experiences of these groups to feed into the understanding of the still unfurling human disaster of the Covid-19 pandemic, and of the structural and historical mechanisms of marginalisation of India's indigenous communities. It will also give visibility to indigenous expressions strengthening their creative economies. Finally, the project will build on the current project to enable an exchange of experiences of similarly located groups (indigenous community groups and leaders internationally) to develop an understanding of the particularlity of the experiences of indigenous communities in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. This will be through an international conference involving indigenous communities and groups that have been addressing the implications of the pandemic on these communities, their creative practices and their place in the creative economy.

新型冠状病毒疫情加剧了印度土著和游牧社区的边缘化和不稳定性，消除了传统的以艺术和表演为基础的生计，并将这些社区推向极端贫困。该项目将通过整合AHRC资助的项目“利用艺术减轻Covid-19对印度土著和游牧社区的影响”中开发的学习和技能，为将这些创意实践转化为可以在数字创意经济中流通的形式创造可能性。这一点至关重要，因为新冠肺炎疫情加速了数字作为主要文化空间的出现，不会在生计、文化遗产和身份方面抹杀边缘化社区。在最初的项目中，一群土著戏剧从业者和电影制作人用土著语言制作了一系列双周视频播客，将艺术实践与实地研究和纪录片制作技术结合起来，以突出新冠肺炎疫情对印度一些最边缘化群体的影响和经验。后续供资将利用这一项目，为在3个社区团体实施的土著创造性领导方案制定一个培训模块，目的是翻译土著社区的创造性遗产，并以数字形式记录其现实情况。该计划对于促进创新和使他们的艺术，生计和知识基础长期可持续发展至关重要。该项目将进一步生成一个可搜索的档案，其中包括澳大利亚人权委员会最初项目期间制作的土著社区创造性遗产视听材料。这一可搜索的档案将通过制作一份合作的多模式出版物（包括视频、照片、故事、诗歌）而获得积极的生命，该出版物将通过与原始材料的链接讲述这些社区的故事。这将使这些群体的经验有助于理解仍在蔓延的新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19，即2019冠状病毒病）人类灾难，以及印度土著社区边缘化的结构性和历史机制。它还将突出土著表达方式，加强其创意经济。最后，该项目将在当前项目的基础上，促进位置相似的群体（土著社区群体和国际领导人）交流经验，以了解土著社区在新冠肺炎大流行背景下的特殊经历。为此，将举行一次土著社区和团体参加的国际会议，讨论这一流行病对这些社区、其创造性做法及其在创造性经济中的地位的影响。
