As I have different skills all related I would brand myself as a Visual Artist and Writer. This would be done with a universal website acting as a portfolio linked to all my other socials and portfolio sites like Artstation and Behance. The portfolio would be a summary of my best work while the rest would be updated regularly on other sites as well as the appropriate socials commonly used by creators such as Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Twitch (for those who stream art and games) and Tumblr.

WEEK 8: Are campaigns against cultural appropriation destroying the arts (and by extension the creative industries)?

The image is chosen in response to the statement:

“Remixing fashion is a window to diversity”

WEEK 4: Managing Cultural Property

What is cultural appropriation?

The Macquarie Dictionary defines Cultural Appropriation (sometimes referred to as Cultural Misappropriation) as,  “The adoption by a group of a specific element of another culture, as forms of dress, personal adornments, music and art styles, religious beliefs, social behaviour, etc., usually involving some degree of assimilation into the culture which is borrowing it, and sometimes viewed negatively by the group from which the appropriation is made.”

How do we manage cultural appropriation in our own work?

By offering explanations for our choices and doing before hand research e.g. weather it is appropriate to use the item or not. Representation matters as well, such as in the case of runways displaying turbans and head scarfs, they should use the people who would wear those things for the reason it was designed. Though like dreads, there is variations in history of these particular things with not one specific race/culture “owning the items”, if the design is clearly similar to a race/culture this can be stated or state why it is not. 

Should cultural property (or cultural heritage) be protected?  If so how?

Yes. There is no need to wear religious clothing if you have so subscription to the faith or don’t understand the meaning of the item and it’s only for leisure.
