In this course, you will engage in a process of locating yourself as a creative practitioner from a range of knowledge perspectives. You will explore the connections between knowledge, place and history as foundational to your university learning, and contextually relevant creative making and sharing.

In so doing, the course invites you to develop a reflective relationship to multiple place-based perspectives and knowledge systems. This includes those of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia, as well as others from the Asia Pacific region, and in the context of a globalising and increasingly networked society.

This course provides opportunities for you to learn across a range of cultural, social and knowledge frameworks, and be introduced to the ethical navigations required in different contexts. By developing your cultural competencies, you will build a necessary and transferrable set of skills including reflexivity, critical thinking and relational ethics through a variety of creative processes and documentation practices relevant to your creative discipline.

This course is an ungraded core course in BP117P26 Bachelor of Photography and BP201P26 Bachelor of Fine Art.
