Well yesterday I got my new assignment for my Studio (Art) class and we have to do a collaboration work with someone else in our group. So Me and this other girl in my group decided to work together and we where talking about how we would want to do a design project, then I started talking about something I have been thinking about for the last couple weeks; Human Trafficking.
(Just if you didn't know, Human trafficking is where children, girls and boys, in poor places are sold, stolen, or tricked into becoming slaves and prostitutes by people taking advantage of their situations)
So we have decided to do an art design project to raise awareness about Human Trafficking, not just in the world, but also how there are cases of it in New Zealand (and other Western Countries) which I don't think many people know about.
We are going to make posters and stick them up all around town. We are also thinking about making t-shirts that people would buy and then the money from that would go to an organization that is involved in trying to stop human trafficking. As well, we are going to try get our designs etc into the University magazine (not just out University but hopefully others as well).
I is going to be a lot of work for the both of us, especially because in terms of the assignment we only have 6 weeks to do it in, and still have four final works (each?) to be marked...
Our first step is going to be trying to collect as much information about human trafficking, so if you are reading this blog and know of any good books/websites/organizations/contacts that we could get hold of that would be really helpful.
We are also going to start a blog to document each stage of our project.
I will probably make a youtube video about sometime too...
I really hope it goes well...and if you or anyone you know could help in some way that would be really awesome
