I have two main ideas for assignment 3.
First (and preferably) I would be very interested in interviewing a Muslim woman–particularly one that wears a burqua or other forms of head coverings. I think a man’s perspective as well as a general societal consensus on this issue would also be interesting. I just really want to know what these women thing, what their lives are like. So many people make judgements on the issue, but know nothing. I want to help educate the public, maybe eradicating some of the fear and predjudice that is rampant in our society.
If I can’t do this, I will interview (anonymously) people within my life who suffer from mental illness–people who seem like perfectly happy people, but really aren’t. What’s hidden beneath? A person isn’t JUST what they show on the outside.
Since i’ve become a fan of Hindenburg, I’d like to primarily work with sound and some photography for this piece–perhaps some video, depending on how it plans out.
