OART1103: Working in First Peoples Contexts: creative partnerships and cultural production
Course Coordinator: Associate Professor Marnie Badham
Teacher: Gen Grieves/ Associate Professor Marnie Badham

This interdisciplinary course has been developed by Worimi artist and educator Genevieve Grieves of GARUWA in collaboration with RMIT University. This Indigenous-led course provides opportunities for you to learn and apply knowledge and skills across a range of cultural and social frameworks, including settler-colonialism and race, that inform Australian society. You will begin to evolve a self-reflexivity that positions you in relation to these national issues and broader global Indigenous contexts. You will build a transferrable set of skills that encompasses intercultural, collaborative, self-determining approaches to working with local, national, and global communities.

By considering the historical and contemporary contexts of Australian case studies, you will expand your ideas of cultural production, curation, arts management, and design in local, national and international contexts. The course supports professional learning and career development learning in fields such as the creative arts, design, cultural production, festivals, public art, education and community development work.
