For discussion and possible development.
Potential TAXI youth/community outreach
Format: Workshop with integrated psychological, practical and publicity angles.
(possibly borrowing a few pages from BodyMaps and the Doll Project http://www.chico.mweb.co.za/art/2004/2004mar/040319-fragile.html
Practical outcomes: Developing basic D.I.Y. skills and knowledge, especially where these can lead to income earning capacities
Psychological outcomes: Participants facilitated to explore their own identity, the life challenges they face, and metaphorically model their ideals and move towards formulating character responses imagine dealing specifically with issues around anger, fear, frustration but would like it to be thematically open to formulation by participants
How: Mentored process of developing ‘action figures’ from available resources, partly as artistic expression, partly as creating toys with sustainability ideals
E.g. I am sure wood-offcuts can be gotten at very low cost from timber suppliers, would like to stick as close as possible to ‘hardware’, but more feminine interpretation also possible.
