- Description
The present study elaborates on the process of assessing, through the provision of voice with tools of contextual enquiry and participatory interviews, the experience and affiliation of students at the University of Queensland that volunteered in the context of the Courting Blakness: Recalibrating Knowledge in the Sandstone University installation of contemporary art: whether their perception about Aboriginal Australian Identity has been shaped because of the art installation, and the importance is placed upon the inclusion of Indigenous matters in University life. Among the key findings has been the yearn expressed by the students inquired, for more frequent exposure and incorporation of Aboriginal art to University affairs, as well as for greater opportunities available to the public to interact and discuss the ideas and new insights surrounding Australian Aboriginality, in response to the mainstream institutional culture, which seemingly continues to deny and avoid the right to Indigenous insertion.
