Competition Flyer by Never Such Innocence
During my placement I am working on competition entries and outreach.
The competition is for children aged 9-18, this is part of their program Conversations On Conflict. This program aims to uplift the voices of young people and children through art on the topic of conflict and war.
The outreach I have been tasked with is to get in contact with music/choir teachers. In hopes to get more children aware of the song category.
The competition has a different yearly theme, this years is in someone else’s shoes. The winners are chosen in their own age categories, its divided up 9-11, 11-14, 14-16, 16-18. This way it is fair for all the participants and they can get a equal amount of winners of varied ages.
The reason behind the Conversations On Conflict program matches my values. I am interested in exhibition design because I think it’s important to uplift artists, their voices, and their experiences. This allows us to be more open minded, considerate, and caring towards others we may feel different than. Its an important way of discussing social issues and bring awareness to them.
In terms of adapting it to include some other values of mine, I will be able to do this with the exhibition they have put me (and my fellow DPS intern) in charge of. We have decided to look at the theme of Unity Without Uniformity: the importance in accepting and understanding cultural diversity.
