In this unit students will learn about diverse Indigenous creative practices, and the varied connections they articulate to Country, kinship and community, and to past, present and future. The unit will also consider the influence of Indigenous concepts and practices in the wider creative sector, and the responsibilities they entail to those who engage with them. Students will learn to think critically about the social and institutional conditions in which both contemporary Indigenous creative work and representations of Indigeneity emerge. The unit will provide opportunity for students to examine and establish stronger foundations in their individual and professional practices for culturally grounded and culturally responsive practice, ethical engagement, and creative collaboration.
