Across this research investigation HERITAGE has used various practice-based performance methodologies to explore how cultural exchange can support ethical and equitable indigenous development. Establishing and supporting a long-term collaboration between an indigenous and non-indigenous artist in Component One enabled HERITAGE to develop a model which was the basis for the following components. In Component Two this was extended to create an artist residency space in the Ipatse village, which was built according to 1st millennium traditions and subsequently accommodated over 50 international and Brazilian artists in a series of cultural exchanges. Component Two opened up new ways for the Kuikuro people to build their economic capacity through arts practices without undermining their cultural heritage. In Component Three HERITAGE explored what had been learnt so far about indigenous research methodologies and how these could be shared and exchanged with other researchers, activists and artists. Finally, in Component Four HERITAGE mobilised the learning and network developed through this multicomponent output to support indigenous communities in building resilience and responding to different global challenges.
