| dc.description.abstract | This project's intention is to better understand my past and the past of others with an aim to unify the community This understanding is achieved through storytelling in visual art-form. The disunity that exists within the collective community of Fort Worth stimulated this art-making project, encouraging me to find a way to work towards a mutual understanding of our neighbors and their cultural identities. Throughout the project, I engaged with different populations that make up my larger community through specific art-making events aimed at stimulating conversation and the telling of personal stories. Through this project, I discovered the vulnerability that the creation of visual art can stimulate within a person, laying a foundation for the expression of hidden stories. This manner of expression acts as a unifier amongst estranged populations of cultural identities different from my own. | |
