Indigenous Creative Expression (KOCR2607)
2009

Description

The concept of 'traditional' versus 'contemporary' is very much at the forefront of defining meanings for art works created by Indigenous artists. Typically works created by Indigenous artists are delegated to either one of these categories. This unit will examine the theoretical frameworks which position Indigenous artists, through the study of Indigenous artistic expression across a range of genres. It will provide students with the opportunity to engage with Indigenous artists on a formal and informal basis and to discuss complex issues pertaining to Indigenous works, in performance, literature (writing), music, dance and film.
