F.a.t studio brief:
Engagement Resource – a tool, material, or service designed to facilitate and improve interaction, involvement, or participation from a specific audience.
- Information cards
- Sketchbooks
- “things to do” leaflets
- Infographics
Ways I could work:
- Taking an autistic child round the museum cards
- Learning difficulties at the museum
- “How does this make you feel” Workshop – ways of working through mental health using art already made
- Guide to the museums on exhibition road
Concerns: Not accessible to everyone, limiting it as an engagement resource for loads of people. Focus on mental health etc can be difficult on a family centred model as most families would choose to keep that private and hidden
A Living/Live in Archive
What can I leave in this space that represents me, my practice and my theories? How would I navigate sensitive topics?
Situation self in specific context – what are the barriers and how will I navigate that?
uncomfortable, difficult, socioeconomic topics – how to display sensitive messages
installation/event may be more appropriate
- social/political engagement – however it’s represented should be indicative of who I am
- Exploration of positive visuals of food/drinks
- Consider what makes a space feel lived in for me – art on counter tops, books as placemats, mugs left sitting around
What products exist in a home? Or flat?
We’re looking for everything from board games & tarot decks, to a library of publications and zines.
Bath salts to perfume, deck chairs to toilet roll holders, cookbooks, to curtains, to door handles to light switches…
