Over the past semester Iam amazed as to how much I have learnt in my Indigenous Culture class. Having known pretty much nothing about the cultural side of Australias first residents, I now know a whole lot. I can confidently identify the differences between different Indigenous Art movements, such as Western Desert, Arnhem land paintings and work from Torres strait Islanders. I can also say that I have diverse knowledge upon political and social reasoning within Indigenous culture. That being said, there is still a whole lot I don't know and I am keen to learn more. I think out of all the classes I have done at Uni, this is the first where I want to conitnue my learning once the semester is over. I have utmost respect for Indigenous Artists, whether they be Urban, Traditional, Torres Strait Islanders, movie directors, musicians etc. Their work is so diverse and I can't wait to see what contemporary influences will effect their practice in the future.
Thank you
