Unit Descriptor
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to appropriately express own cultural identity through artistic practice.
The local cultural knowledge necessary to achieve competency in this unit may only be accessible to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples. This unit also reflects the fact that there is no single Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander culture.
This unit deals with complex and interrelated elements of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander cultures which are the cultural and intellectual properties of specific communities. These may only be interpreted by appropriate persons, e.g. those recognised by the local Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community as an Elder or custodian of local cultural knowledge.
Any organisation or individual planning to train or assess this unit would be expected to work closely with the local Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community, for example through establishing a local Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander reference group. In particular, it is vital to ensure respectful integration of any local cultural knowledge or protocols that will inform the implementation of the unit.
Application of the Unit
Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people who work independently or with others to produce artistic works apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit. They could be producing visual arts or craft pieces for exhibition in galleries or for sale at markets or through a range of distribution channels. They could also be giving expression to their cultural identity through music, dance or screen productions.
At this level, work is usually undertaken under supervision, though some autonomy and judgement can be expected within established parameters.
Licensing/Regulatory Information
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
