IDENTITY - Finding Common Ground with our identities (Or using our varying identities to created a bigger piece of work showing the intricacies of each person in our team

(Learn our identities through the Care Label and getting to know one another.)

Using our IDENTITY (e.g. how we see ourselves/how we represent ourselves/what makes you, you.)

Maybe creating different pieces of work depending on struggles/own personal issues (Within our own identities, e.g. having anxiety/self confidence or more personal factors to you that you think impact who you are, OR could be just as simple as a factor about you, e.g. your style, your heritage/family, or your community.)

About presenting our ideas:

e.g. = Fine art doing more drawings/acrylic...or any medium they choose (playing to their strengths) and photographers creating photography series (playing to their strengths.)

And then combining these bodies of work through possibly a collage?

Or showing each of our separate pieces in a bigger body of work.

(PLEASE add notes to this if anyone has more ideas or questions or problems or whatever with this! I don't bite, thank you :)

Idea: Pair of images/pieces of art representing how we see ourselves, and another showing how other people see us/ how we represent ourselves to other people.

(Really going into the differences)

--> Then fine art + photography can do it in our own styles + own ways, and then as a collaborate, come together to create a body of work, representing all of our own identities. (To refined nearer to the end of the project, with everyone's collaboration + contribution.)

^ Group split into pairs to work on a slide each.

Meeting again on Thursday (24.10.24 to talk about each strategy and plan for the Presentation on Friday (25.10.24)

• Decided to talk about each strategy and then start planning on how we will present out final outcomes. (All in while thinking and experimenting with ideas of what we want to produce.)

Link to Presentation: EDI GROUP PROJECT.pptx

--> (Figuring out who will talk on each section, making sure everyone is comfortable in the amount talking in front of the class they have to do.)

PLAN:

I (Alice) will present the first few slides, including the Padlet + Pinterest page, and then Lucy P. and Alex will introduce their shared slide. After, Alice will talk about her slide, ect, ect. - Taking turns on what slide they created.

If a person is not comfortable talking, we have arranged for someone else to talk about it (with time for that person to prepare for it.)

- Annie and Amanda said very good research which linked, but need to specify where our project is going in terms of subject.

--> Annie suggested researching Barbra Kruger.

Next steps:

- Start doing first experiments with work. e.g. photoshoots (once finished picking what subject to do)

- And maybe THEN do Six Hat Crit of our work ^ - to show our thought processes

• Produce a slide about Identity (or mental health ect, in Farnham - or locally within the UNI -- maybe through a shared google docs? Or a similar tactic (Discuss)

'How do others see you?'.

IDENTITY: 9 seperate sections, one each.

• Realtionships

• Apperance

• Personal values

• Habits/ Routines

• Jobs/ Positions

• Mental Health/ Anxiety

• Hobbies / Intrests

• Race

• Genders

  
  

OR

IDENTITY: 4 Sections in small groups.

• Personal.

• Social.

• Role.

• Collective.

Do we work with the public & acquaintances or just ourselves ?

This series is described very well through this quote: (from the above link.)

"These images question the legitimacy of applying the term normal in a societal context by prompting a reconsideration of what, if anything, is normal, or at least what is perceived and labelled as such. Is it possible for a society to have a commonly held idea of what is normal, when few individuals in that society actually meet the criteria for normalcy?"

I really like this way of depicting anxiety as a mental illness, and his tight, precise framing really helps emphasise this.

- poaching group 4, item & or object to detalied thier identity.

Are we only ever truley ourself, with everyone we meet including ourselfs ?

• Paint (acrylic)

• Clay

• Plaster

  To represent the misconception of mental disorders and highlight the reality of living with said disorders. --> will portray this by having the mirror act as an interactive piece in the final presentation and have the viewers step up and place themselves in front of the mirror.

• ^ Creating an individualistic experience for each onlooker.

• Possibly help bring light to multiple mental disorders by making audiences interpret the work (influenced by the surrounding pieces) differently.

• ^ Surrounding the piece will be images of the creation of said monster mirror, showing artists who created it and their personal journey through its creation. (With their own statements/opinions via post-it notes around the mirror and images.)

• ^^ Possibly have an interactive level where viewers can add their own opinions/statements by having a pen and a stack of post-it notes next to the piece so people can interact with it.

. Art peice

. Corkboards + post its

. Different colour post its.

. 1000 students partake (anonymous)

. Pin post its to boards

. Either on a collective, social or personal.( what the students believe is most important to them regarding identitiy.)

. Tally up numbers.

. Repete the whole process with another 3 sub categories + student input.

. Do this untill there is one category left that really defies IDENTITY.

This also answers overeaching question.

'How i view myself' SELF BELIFE.

' How overs view me' OTHERS OPTIONS.
