We're moving ahead with planning our
encounters on Wednesday March 12th and 26th, where artists from all
walks of life will meet for one hour to paint together. We're doing
this because we want to study interactions of people for what they
are passionate about- not by what they are are bound by, such as
assigned labels.
Once the
encounters are in place, we want to study the micro interactions. We
want to study discussions between artists and see what kind of change
takes place there. The next stage is that Melissa is going to follow
up the encounter with a discussion group at a close date. She'll also
conduct interviews, for artists who work better with a personal
communication rather than group communication.
As well as this,
we want to link up to other creative encounters already going on
around Waikato. Where there are groups that regularly meet up and
produce together, they'll be a more naturalistic interaction. We want
to move in and be observers and recorders in this setting.
We'll have video
recordings of the encounters as our raw data. We then have to
explore:
- How can we show the impact of social inclusion?
- How can we show an impact in attitudes?
- What challenged preconceptions of mixed abilities?
- What made it hard to step into the mainstream?
We're going to ask
the people themselves, what changed for them. And finally we're going
to ask what we missed: “what didn't I ask you that I should have?”
