In April 2023, a historic delegation of 10 Indigenous artists and advisors gathered on MIT's campus to share their work with each other and with the MIT community. The theme of the ISO Indigenous Incubator at MIT gathering was “Indigenous Knowledge and Immersive Technologies.”

With our partners at the Indigenous Screen Office (ISO) of Canada, the cohort incubated their own immersive media projects, toured various MIT labs, and met with Indigenous leaders from MIT and across the territory over four days.

“This is the second iteration of our ongoing partnership with Co-Creation Studio at MIT and it has been a joy to see how our shared values of collaboration, creativity, innovation and excellence have aligned to create a truly unique opportunity for Indigenous creators and the MIT community,” says Kerry Swanson, CEO of the ISO.
