Course Description

This course describes the skills and knowledge required to appropriately express own cultural identity through artistic practice. As such this course has very strong linkages to a wide range of specialisation courses. The local cultural knowledge necessary to achieve competency in this course may only be accessible to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples. This course also recognises that there is no single Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander culture. This course deals with complex and interrelated elements of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander cultures which are the cultural and intellectual properties of specific communities. These may only be interpreted by appropriate persons, eg those recognised by the local Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community as an Elder or custodian of local cultural knowledge.
