First Nations | Visual Arts | Humanities

In this hands-on workshop, students will work alongside a First Nations multidisciplinary artist and educator to deepen their understanding of Aboriginal Arts practices and traditions. Through culturally safe and engaging experiences, students will become curious learners, building respectful connections and creative confidence in exploring Aboriginal perspectives through art.

Workshop Offerings Include:

• Visual Art: Students will create a transient collage with elements of nature, then develop a story inspired by their artwork. This story will guide the creation of a watercolour painting, which can also be digitised for further exploration.
• Weaving: Spend time yarning whilst learning contemporary weaving, based on the Coil weave of the Ngarrindjeri women, using sustainably sourced raffia.

First Nations Cultural Practice

Over the coming months, RAV will be working closely with Emma to develop a cultural safety protocol that ensures respectful engagement with first nations communities.

This process will include consultations with local Elders, stakeholders, and community members when a booking enquiry is made, to ensure each workshop is culturally appropriate and locally connected.

All cultural elements will be guided by Emma in alignment with community protocols.
