Presentation Topic: Tertiary and other further learning models

ABSTRACT:

I would like to present an artist talk/slide talk of my own work and student work, and introduce the BVA program that I currently lecture in at QCA in Brisbane. The main focus of my presentation is on what the BVA in Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art produces in Student work and in Students. The central focus of the CAIA Program is Aboriginal Identity, specifically Urban Aboriginal Identity. I will talk about how and why the structure of the Program was established and its Aboriginal community input and obligations. It is the only Program of it type in Australia.
