The WORKING IN TRANSNATIONAL CONTEXTS course introduces you to the concepts in transnational thinking in relation to the field of cultural production. You will develop skills and knowledge applicable to contemporary cultural production including:
- theories of transnationalism, migration and mobilities, and diaspora;
- intercultural competencies and communication skills for developing partnerships and collaborative projects;
- the role of art and creative practices in cultural diplomacy, cultural tourism, and policy frameworks;
- and new models for the circulation of culture (i.e.: artist residencies, digital curation, and touring).
You will explore critical debates and multiple perspectives within contemporary creative art practices and identify key examples of creative production relevant to the development of your own project.
Ultimately, the course will assist you to develop your independent judgement and capacity to articulate a cohesive argument/rationale for your ethical, critical and creative decisions in practice.
The course supports professional learning and career development learning in fields and roles such as: arts management, creative practice, arts and cultural festivals, creative industries, cultural heritage, cultural tourism, public art, and arts education industries; as well as artists, curators, cultural producers, education and community workers.
Student groups eligible to enrol: Open to all PGRD students from any School at RMIT (and Single Course enrollments from associated industries).
