Creative / Multi-Media Project:

For your final project, you will produce a creative response to the course. You will present your project and provide grounding critical context out of which it emerged in your thinking about borders. Here is where you find the relationship between intellectual ideas & artistic representations, between critical questions & creative expression. You have total freedom here. 10 min.

Required: 1) in-person presentation, 2) hardcopy or digital copy (depending on format), 3) digital copy posted to class blog

Some dynamic presentations merging creative/critical thinking can be found in TED talks, so if you want some inspiration, consider perusing some of the talks based on themes/subjects that interest you, then model your approach after one of these.

Past presentations have included: musical composition & performance, spoken word, collaborative art, interactive performance, dance, sculpture/installation, video, visual art, photography, creative writing, etc., and some have crossed these various media/forms/genres, combining language and other arts. Anything is possible here, but it must be founded and/or framed from serious critical thinking.
