Decolonising the Landscape MultiStudio 2 (AIND20013)

In this subject, students will engage in multimodal studios in creative and/or performing practice. Multimodal studio foregrounds a range of Indigenous creative and cultural knowledges and practices in the creative arts and/or performance studio to consider how Indigenous knowledges can diversify and decentre colonial knowledges and knowledge production.

Deep listening, critique, and positionality are the focus for this second level Wilin Breadth subject, which emphasises the critical engagement necessary to navigate contentious colonised spaces and place as First Nations peoples and allies.

By introducing and building upon cultural literacies and Indigenous learning and art making experiences, students will engage in learning activities that extend creative practice to make connections with their positionality. Students will be engaged in presentations, group work, peer critique and creative projects that utilise skills in art making and shared knowledges and diplomacies, and will work with respect and responsibility in relation to Indigenous cultural practices and protocols.

This subject is developed and lead by Indigenous scholarship, pedagogies and knowledges in creative and cultural practices.

The subject is co-taught with First Nations people.
