10:45-11:00

Olivia, Students and Peter meet ahead of audience admission, to say 'hello' and check screen-sharing.

11:00-11:15

Peter welcomes the audience and introduces Olivia.

Short slideshow is shared with images of each Student's RCA2021 page, as a cue to –

frame their practice in 1 minute (based on RCA2021 statement)

ask a question, or give a prompt, to the audience - borne of their practices and experience of this past year

Peter drops RCA2021 url for each Student, and link to the Padlet, into the chat. Audience are encouraged to respond (visually or textually) to the questions/prompts throughout the Event, posting directly onto the Padlet.

11:15-11:45

Olivia reads from and expands upon her text, Intimate Loops.

Conversation ensues with Students. Peter in support.

11:45-12:00

Padlet is screen-shared, to look at audience's visual-textual responses. Olivia and Students discuss themes arising from the responses. Audience invited to join the conversation, via the chat then mic/camera on.

12:00-12:30

Transition into question-answer-discussion with audience.

12:30

Close (with an eye on the conversation running its course).

I like the idea of focusing on the repeating / looping life pattern and intimate environment - which is recurring in our works, also captured by Olivia.

Can we draw same thing in our own visual language, and then create a loop of it - capturing the time like the boils in animation?

# data[].attributes.body
Also, about the keywords, I was thinking this workshop as our response to Olivia's text - which was her response to our works, so maybe it might be worth selecting the keyword that she captured as the echo in our practice?

# data[].attributes.body
Idea about the keywords that was mentioned in the meeting - maybe when someone selects a keyword during the first section they can talk about the theme/idea and discuss other people's work which relates to that idea and then they cold join the conversation - just to avoid everyone individually talking about their own work which might be less engaging?

# data[].attributes.body
Agree with the game idea. Speaking of this, I guess some of us had joined the Visual Narrative with Andrzej in our first year. There was a gamely-like session,  we were separated into pairs, everyone draw a starting image, then exchange to another person who will draw  the second image, then continue exchange ... in the end , you will see a surprising story line. Maybe we could do something like that?

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe we could set a drawing event like Yimin's idea, some kind of visual outcome is good for having this event an archive and testimony as well.

This could be an intimate conjunction point where this event could live intimately with us among our audience.

There was a process( from drawing and redrawing) in Olivia's words. I think this build upon build process is also a must shown aspect in our event, because there is a distinct relation with our "testimonies" between our conceptions and practices.

# data[].attributes.body
Not sure how could we gonna do to crate a dynamic event rather than a serious seminar with a contemporary illustration practice that exams the wider audience.

It feels that there should be a feedback, a sharing or a gift atmosphere that celebrates an intimate touch from one to one to another. (delivering and positioning mysteries and repeating life pattern along side our intimate environment from a fitting bedroom to a hypothetical universe?)

Seems I was writing so philosophical right now...

Hold on

Yes I also have a similar idea which is to use keywords to put our work into different thematic groups. And I'm wondering if it is possible to use some game method to form this process. (Blind box with different topics?)
Maybe each topic can allow 2~3students to share their work. After that, other people can respond and share their related experience around that topic.  After we have done a round,  we can have a small drawing workshop based on the conversation. We draw many small illustrations according to the keywords. One picture per keyword, and we upload them to a padlet. we will have a visual outcome after that.
I'm just tossing ideas around!

# data[].attributes.body
From Olivia's text and our selected drawings, I can feel the amplification of private life stories in our works, thus establishing a resonance window of real life experience, which is connecting the creation of private and public dialogue.

These carefully observed findings touch the delicate engagement under the present environment.
(a lockdown / a more concentrated self-observe/ environment and position.)

# data[].attributes.body
How can we make the event engaging and insightful for people and what can we and the audience gain from it? The event could lead to wider discussions about broader topics like the pandemic, routines, isolation, lockdowns, domestic spaces etc but could also lead to broader discussions about illustration as a discipline, educational subject and industry?
Maybe as a way of showcasing everyone's work and ideas the work could be put into groups of relevant themes which could then be discussed. For example domestic spaces and objects, or transformation of everyday environments, etc, might be a more engaging way to highlight everyone's projects?
Still thinking of ideas and a bit unsure at the moment!
