How might we record our process and planning? Beverley Harvey offers some suggestions

A diary of process can act as a tracking devise to ensure that all elements of planning, delivery of creative activities and meetings are captured and monitored to ensure the original purpose of the project has been achieved. However, it also provides a deeper understanding, awareness and appreciation of a creative medium used as a symbolic vehicle to enter into conversations with individuals, groups, or an array of communities with whom you may not have had any contact with or who have never been able to share commonalities or differences through un-imposed conversation.

A project of this nature that seeks to develop a new creative model of practice, to bring different communities together (some who may be in conflict with each other), enabling the possibility to enter into a productive conversation rather than debate will be a challenge.

Nevertheless we have experienced, albeit on a small scale, that this is indeed possible, and we now wish to expand upon this unique process to involve a much larger network of people and bring current contentious issues to the forefront through a creative conversation.

Material will be uploaded onto the website, whereby visitors to the site will be able to see a step-by-step account of the project’s development. We will highlight the successes as well as the difficulties, capturing reasons and decisions that have lead to the solutions in shaping the project as it unfolds.
