I have not been the best in organizing all the feedback from my tutorials, I have it all written down, but not in an organized way, so I’m just going to go through it in disorder.
One of the main questions I was asked in my tutorial was What exactly is it that I want to find out? The honest answer to this question is I don’t know. I probably should know by now, but I actually think this is one of the hardest questions to answer.
Another thing I was asked in my tutorial was to explain what my question means in a way that is clear and focused on what it is that I want to change.
My question is “How can I give exposure to Latin American creatives in the UK?” I have a complicated relationship with my question, ever since I came up with it I’ve wanted to change it. And every time I’ve changed it I’ve returned to the original question, so I will keep this question now.
Explanation of question: By Latin American creatives I mean people that were born in Latin America that practice a creative discipline, however I have decided to focus on three main disciplines visual art, literature and film. By giving them exposure in the UK I mean bringing their work to London so that they get viewed by a different audience, they get more opportunities which will hopefully lead to them creating more projects.
Some more feedback and advice I was given was to read about diaspora, about what it means to be a Latin American creative, and themes around my main topic, as well as analyzing case studies of organizations that are already doing this.
To keep going on the feedback I received in tutorials was to research methodologies, to analyze how this helps me develop my ideas.
How to use academic literature:
- Find the key points
- summarize in my own words
- do they conflict with your own ideas?
- does the research make you see anything differently or give you new ideas?
- REFERENCE AS YOU GO ALONG
