Exhibit narrative:
The Humanity Project exhibit serves to inform, evoke, and inspire the user on the topic of human rights. The design of the space as well as information given are used together to employ an authentic and raw experience for all visitors no matter what age, sex, or nationality. Many elements used in the exhibit address the human experience and its response to historical, current, and future cruelty upon our own human race.
I employ light, shadow and color to create a perceptual shift from the direct conscious viewing to a subtle, unconscious experience. Neutral shades of black, white and gray strengthen the viewer’s perceptual experience while red is used to connect the past with present. The environment created appears simple, and sometimes fragile. The transparent materials and still images used represent a brief existence, a memory, or recalled emotion that still remains.
The main conflict that is portrayed within the space is the struggle to obtain, protect,and respect human rights. The space portrays terrifying historical truths that can never be erased as well as the current genocide that is still occurring today in Sudan. Information and knowledge must be given to everyone on this topic in order to help and empower others as well as ourselves.
