The Travelling Studio is a place-based intensive learning experience, linking content to local land and place. Students are introduced to local Aboriginal systems in country and culture by engaging in ‘two ways of knowing’.
Students will travel to a community destination where they will have first-hand experience with local historical and contemporary practices, artists, galleries and museums, alongside Indigenous Knowledge systems.
Students learn Indigenous ways of valuing, ways of being, ways of knowing and ways of doing, bringing Indigenous Knowledges and approaches for a contextual understanding of the production and presentation of art and the protocols and processes that inform Indigenous ways of art creation.
Students will be challenged to think beyond the limitations of their current art practice with emphasis placed on analysing and discussing art and its cultural, historical and institutional contexts. Through a series of field trips and tutorials, students will generate new work to be exhibited upon return to Melbourne.
This subject co-taught with First Nations people.
