Abstract:

Indigenous art represents the cultural identity, historical memory, and spiritual traditions of native communities across the world. In recent decades, contemporary art spaces such as museums, galleries, and cultural centers have played an important role in preserving and promoting Indigenous art forms. However, this process also raises concerns about cultural appropriation, loss of authenticity, and misrepresentation. This review paper examines the significance of Indigenous art, the challenges faced in its preservation, and the role of contemporary art spaces in safeguarding Indigenous heritage. Through an analysis of existing literature, the paper highlights strategies for ethical representation, community participation, and sustainable preservation of Indigenous artistic traditions.
