In this course you will develop a rich and nuanced understanding of how concepts of identity and place shape and inflect the ways we tell stories: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visual artists, film makers, musicians, journalists, poets, fiction- and song-writers - storytellers all - ensure the ongoing, creative expression of First Nations' sovereignty.
Through practice and making you will explore and apply your awareness of the concepts of deep history and shared futures; embodied and emplaced continuity in diverse Indigenous communities and who these are expressed in creative and scholarly works relating to your professional discipline. At the heart of this course is the opportunity to continue to develop your own ethical responsible professional practice.
Your relation to Country and story, including to the Country on which your learning takes place, will be a starting point and in doing so will engage with a range of Indigenous creative works, scholarship, community-based experiences, cultural collections and exhibitions to develop yourself awareness of Indigenous sovereignty.
You will be further guided by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communication techniques (such as yarning and deep listening) and protocols (discipline-based guidelines) toward envisioning your professional role in community engagement and collaboration.
