Abstract This paper draws on the personal experience of the author who had been employed as a Youth Arts Manager in a small, desert town in the Northern Territory. In her research honours study during the project for which she was engaged, she aimed to understand the tensions she experienced managing this partnership. Now, five years later, she reconsidered the experience and, placing the concept of culture shock at the forefront of her perspective, came to see the experience in a new light. Kate proposes that understanding protocols is a process embodiment that may be affected by the experience of culture shock, and secondly, that creative processes can be reduced neither to process nor product. Rather, with a clear understanding of aims and objectives as they relate to context, from community development can fruitful artistic partnerships.

在偏远的澳大利亚社区与青年艺术跨越国界

摘要本文借鉴了作者在北领地一个荒漠小镇担任青年艺术经理的个人经历。在她参与的项目期间的研究荣誉研究中，她旨在了解自己在管理这种伙伴关系中所经历的紧张状态。现在，五年后，她重新考虑了这一经历，并将文化震惊的概念置于自己观点的最前沿，开始以全新的视角看待这种经历。凯特（Kate）提出，理解协议是一个过程的体现，可能会受到文化冲击的影响，其次，创造性的过程既不能简化为过程，也不能简化为产品。相反，通过对与上下文相关的目的和目标有清晰的了解，社区发展可以带来富有成效的艺术合作。
