After a brief tutorial-conversation with Richard last week, he help me realize that the fear that motivated me to change my topic was the pressure from people asking for a final product—one that I don’t have yet. This made me doubtful of my process. However, we reflected on how there’s never actually a final product; there are only iterations upon iterations of a project. With that in mind, I decided to act on the ideas I had: I printed stickers, created an Instagram account, and set a goal for this week to give out five envelopes to five different people with whom I can follow up for feedback after a week.
People who I have thought on giving them stickers:
- Erin – Skaped organizator
- Anny – Student from UAL
- Leave one at the feminist library (I’m going to a workshop this weekend)
- Marina – Student from UAL
- ¿?
Another interesting project I’m working on is the workshop I’m going to facilitate on August 31st at the Artivism Festival. I’ve been collaborating with a group of people from the organization Skaped – we are called the steering group-, and we are planning the entire event. I’m in charge of the workshops area, so I will be facilitating one workshop myself and also, I need to decide on the workshop and facilitator for the other. This has been a very important experience because it has helped me start networking with organizations interested in the intersection of art and social justice, which aligns closely with my own interests.
With that said, I really hope that by the end of August, I’ll have more information about how different people react to my interventions and my topic of interest.
