We have been working on this project for many weeks. Look back through your journal and think back to symposium night. What are all of the things you did in this project?
The work I completed up to exhibition is the following:
Consider those challenges more deeply. How did you react to and grow from each challenge?Please emphasize things that challenged you to grow in the areas of empathy, understanding power, privilege & economics.
I reacted by taking the leadership role and trying to get Mikelas perspective on what she thought we should do and incorporate the other group members ideas.
What things do you now know (either information or experience!) that you didn’t before this project?
I never thought about using a symposium to display and teach others about work we have done, so experiencing new ways of publishing our work is always good so we can switch it up and also see positives and negatives of the exhibition. Also throughout the project, I switched up topics to focus on and every topic I looked into a little bit of each topic so just discovering little things was interesting. Also the lessons that were taught in class about economics,trickle down systems, walmart’s employees etc. was all interesting to learn.
What things in this project, if any, connect to your real world and the next steps of your life?
Everything we learned connects to life, from racism to lessons to learn from past history. So to take all the information that we learned and try to process all of it is hard to do because it is overwhelming. It was nice to have a project that went on for so long but also focused on a variety of different topics, so to have all those in the back of my head do affect ( in a positive way) my choices for an example, I try not to use certain curse words because of the actually meanings of it that I had learned.
The work I completed up to exhibition is the following:
- In group meetings, Jasper and I were usually the ones who contributed the ideas and lead our groups into creative discussions for ideas on how to publish our work
- Gave ideas to Daniela, for what kind of article she should write and what to write on
- Created my piece, then got critique on it 4 times by…...Danila,Tyler,Jasper,Robin
- Gave critique to 3 people
Review the catalog of your work. Where were the challenges? Write down and describe the challenges.
