Until today, I have nine participants who have joined my intervention-communication tool including jewellery designer, painter, textile designer, curator, graphic designer, and 3D designer. The group interactions help build a special form of creative chemistry with co-creation by showing their creative artwork that introduces their individual practice or personal identity. Questioning and giving feedback on each other and for themselves could help solve practical problems and reflect on reality with the concerns and needs of participants.
Mural is the platform I used to create this intervention and it can allow the participants to interact on it at the same time as it is a collaborative tool. At first, I was concerned about whether it would not be convenient for participants to access because they need to sign up as a member and it could lead to a problem of limiting the willingness of the participation. I talked about this concern on the drop-in tutorial this week but Richard said the function of signing up could also prevent the problem of letting everyone access it even though I don’t want to. I started using this platform by sending invitations through emails.
Collect the questions in different categories
These are the questions I collected so far from the third part of my intervention. I classified the questions into three categories- motivation, co-creation, and culture & empowerment. From the questions, we can see the participants have a specific interest in staying motivated as creative individuals such as advertising themselves, jobs, and industry resources according to the first category of questions shown in the form. The second category shows that some of the participants are looking for collaboration, which reflects that collaboration is a way to empower their passion for learning in the industries and networking. Finally, there is still some evidence concerning about language barrier and cultural differences that were also mentioned in the interviews I did with most of the interviewees.
