This introductory subject explores the rich, ancient and dynamic visual culture of Australia, including the many Indigenous First Nations and the complex relations between artworks, artists, audiences and cultural institutions. Using peer to peer discussion informed by research from diverse Australian sources, students will review case studies from the late 18th through to the 21st century, culminating in a reflection on emerging directions in Australian art. Throughout this subject, Indigenous art and non-Indigenous art will be discussed in dialogue, to generate holistic perspectives on Australian cultural identity.
