So I decided to do my exhibit on bullying and have a call to action to stop bullying and issue love. My exhibit will focus on the perspective of both parties, the bully and the person being bullied. I plan to do a walk-through exhibit where you have two entrances, one for each party. While you walk through one you can see the other side but you cannot understand because you're not in that moment. I plan to use black for the person being bullied and red for the bully. At the end of the exhibit I plan to hand out white hearts with red and black text with the call to order on it. Each walk through will show case infographics about bullying from those perspectives as well as stories from both sides.
I researched basic statistics and current posters for inspiration but I will be going out and interviewing people/their parents from people who have been bullied and those who have bullied. Since I have done the R&CW conference before so I want to do more than create interesting infographics to look at, I want to create an experience. I'm very excited for this project!!
Megan, This is a great topic with a lot of information already out there so I think your biggest challenge is coming up with a way to show this information in a new, exciting way. I think your "experience" is going to be amazing! I really wish I was in Rexburg so I could go through it myself. Have you thought about maybe taking a video tour of it and posting it as well? That would be a great way to share the experience with those online. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think that you have created a really strong abstract for your project. Bullying is such a sad thing to cover, so kudos to you for being willing and able to do it! I know there are so many movies and tv shows about bullying that you have so many resources. I just read a story about a girl who commited suicide because her dad punished her in public and posted the punishment on video on facebook. Her suicide note said that her dad bullied her into doing this. There are so many different aspects and points of view about bullying. Make sure you don't stray too far within a topic like this!
