So I finally flew back home to do the final interviews during the Spring break. THIS IS IT !! Shooting the interviews was absolutely crazy!! I had a Panasonic HMC 150 Camera kit, A canon 7D Camera kit, a set of 3 red head lights , Small Photo and Video Tripod, Large Lighting Kit, Reflector...
So today I had a shoot with one of my friends. I just wanted practice with the camera and lights. Just to see if I could recreate the kind of aesthetic I am going for. I shot this using a green screen which was not a very good idea, because the resolution of the video...
My goal is to have a clean sterile, uniform look , with a clean white background.
I decided the best way to create an experience for the viewer is to create a room. This will create a multisensory installation for the viewers. This will also create a safe, sterile environment. Each monitor represents a tribe , There is “conversation” between the screens.
After the peer reviews yesterday – Well most of them asked me why I dont have any interaction in my work, well… I would love to include lots and lots of interaction because I think when people interact with any piece of work, they get more engaged in it. And I have thought about having...
The more I think about these preconceived notions, the more I am convinced that conversation is needed. These groups need a platform to talk and discuss, to hear each others views . A platform where there is no superiority , and each group gets an equal chance to let their views heard. A sort of round...
well I still want to take the interviews, I think thats one of the best ways I can get the people to candidly talk about their views. I have been sketching a lot. About how I can create conversation, and dialogue between the groups. One way is to get the people together in a round...
So I met with a friend today, to brainstorm and just talk about our thesis projects, and it was quite insightful. Well I already had my idea, but it was very helpful to just talk about it, and it helped me clear my mind about so many things. One of the questions she asked me...
Well, I absolutely love this guys work. He has done work all over the world. ( Including Kenya ) . But right now I am drawing inspiration from his Face to Face project that he did with Marco. They posted my huge portraits of Israelis and Palestinians doing the same job, face to face. They put...
During the winter break, I went back home and did a couple of interviews. Most of the people I interviewed where mostly my friends, though I also visited an IDP camp (Internally displaced Persons ) . I wanted to get interviews from people who have been directly affected by tribalism and I thought that the...

So I have been thinking about video and audio narratives for a while now. I realise one of the easiest ways to pass on information about such a sensitive issue like tribalism id through stories. Its a subtle way that will be accepted by many audiences. I talked one of my friends to letting me...
