For some reason this blog has been askew in the void...both images etc all wonky like..
I have been putting together some work for an upcoming show about the millenium goals or MDG's as they are now known...which will be exhibitied in a church here in Brisbane. As i say that im really not certain how to do this in a humane & 'artistic' way...
It is reality with a thud & silence....
Progress has been slow... but ive settled upon 2 drawings & 3 small concertina books...looking at gender equality.I thought mmm book = learning = history = narrative...& collage as a form/method of rethinking/making...Difficult.. Ive been researching & looking at reports & remain positive & hopeful...poverty & lack of access to opportunity & education or consistent employment for women & girls is disproportionate with examples through the spectrum. Have a look at any of the UN reports they are all over the web...check out the goals...have a go at some level...there are various things to engage people to not feel they cant do anything...
The goals(MDg's) have a timeframe & are projected to achieve some form of success by 2015 by integrating a holistic approach involving governments, foundations, businesses and civil society groups.www.un.org/millenniumgoals
