People’s Palace Projects, Queen Mary University of London (PPP, QMUL) and the Indigenous Association of the Kuikuro People in Xingu (AIKAX) hosted the International Seminar on Indigenous Engagement, Research Partnerships and Knowledge Mobilisation in Rio de Janeiro in 2019, on behalf of AHRC and ESRC. The 3-day event looked to explore research partnerships between indigenous and non-indigenous partners, with particular focus on culturally sensitive knowledge exchange, equitable co-creation and mobilisation for meaningful impact. There were a wide-range of partnerships, approaches and disciplines represented, as well as interdisciplinary discussions, workshops and presentations.

The conversations were documented by indigenous filmmaker Takumã Kuikuro and the Kuikuro Cinema Collective and transformed into 9 short episodes available on the playlist Indigenous Research Episodes.

The clips offer non-indigenous researchers working in this field insights on challenges when engaging with indigenous communities whilst ensuring co-production of knowledge and effective knowledge mobilisation, with the potential for broader impact beyond academia.
