The theme for this course is Activism, Citizenship, Politics and Power. As a way to unfold this broad and complex theme in contemporary art, this unit will take the approach of identifying and thinking through various ‘sites of resistance’. Starting from ‘site’ as a way of marking the multiple locations, positionalities and subjectivities from which artists agitate, activate and seek modes of resistance to oppressive forms of power and dominance as experienced at the intersections of personal identity, community and global citizenship.
Themes in Contemporary Creative Practice A and B are just two different names for the same underlying theme offered. If you want to enrol in the course, but it is showing fully enrolled in your Enrolment Online, please contact art.postgradadmin@rmit.edu.au to enquire if a space might be available.
