So far this week, I made an experimental map by using my own identity story. like the one showing below.
while I was making it, I wanted to show the fragmented identity and using the map design to show the process of so-called identity finding.(why I feel so shamed typing this…)
so rather than delivering messages, I want to show more about emotion part.(the thing that I always weak at)
I got feedback from tutorial:
this is not good at showing information
better with location
wit more hokkien style
what I did the next is using tracing paper to make the reference have a dialogue with my identity map.
I feel quite enjoying when I made this, and I got better feedback than the map
this, I’m using my own story and reference to make. cuz I didn’t get the enough time to deal with the transcripts from interview.
so for the interview, it’s quite hard to get people actually , we don’t have many hoklo people here, so many interview have to be online, which I don’t really like. and the people I can find are mostly students, which limit me from getting information about real immigrants. so I need to think more about the topic based one the reality.
what I’m going to do next week:
- find the proper topic(learn more about hokkien culture and find something deeper)
- find references (both art work about minor culture & about topic)
- doing the analyse about map design element
- making
