\"\"Introductory paragraph<\/strong>
\nJamal Harewood is an artist who creates temporary communities through audience-led
\nparticipatory events that focus on ideas of identity and race. He believes the events should be
\nplayful experiences that allow everyone to get involved. Creating unique experiences that
\nenable discussion around each individual’s interpretation of the performance allows for
\nattendees to leave the workshop with a refreshed insight on a topic.<\/p>\n

Project freedom<\/strong> – On the 27th January 2022, Jamal Harwood led an audience-based workshop
\nthat inspired conversation and showcased different perspectives on the term \u2018Freedom\u2019.
\nAttendees were encouraged to authentically share their views and oppositions through different
\nthemes and activities. The end of the workshop brought together a final, collective definition of
\nfreedom accompanied by a pledge.<\/p>\n

Theme 1: The Sun Shines Down on Anyone Who (10 minutes)<\/strong>
\nA light icebreaker game. The objective of the first theme is to be seated at the end of each
\nround. The workshop begins with the audience forming a circle around Jamal who stands in the
\nmiddle to get the activity started…\u201cThe sun shines down on anyone who …\u201d. The rounds focus
\non three topics; clothing, feelings and ideologies, and those who identify with the subject scurry
\nacross the room to find an empty seat.
\nRULES:
\n– You cannot return to your seat
\n– You cannot sit in the chairs beside you unless it is your only option<\/p>\n

Theme 2: Agree or disagree<\/strong>
\nBack in their chairs, the participants turn around and close their eyes. This element allows
\neveryone to remain anonymous and give their authentic responses and share their views
\nwithout any fear of judgement and criticism. Jamal shares several ideologies:
\nFreedom is the ability to be free
\nMy freedom hinders others
\nI feel free in my town
\nI am free to express myself
\nI am free to love who I want<\/p>\n

Theme 3: Guidelines<\/strong>
\nSharpie or Fine Point Pen
\nTo make the space more comfortable participants create their own guidelines and rules to
\nadhere to in the workshop, creating boundaries and understanding that all opinions are
\nwelcomed and allowed and this is a judgement free zone. They collectively agree between
\nusing a fine point pen or a sharpie and decide on the latter.<\/p>\n

Main quotes:<\/strong>
\nDon’t compromise your beliefs just to adhere to others<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/strong>
\n– Be a team player
\n– Be fully present where possible
\n– Have Fun!<\/p>\n

Theme 4: Personal Definitions of Freedom<\/strong>
\nParticipants are prompted to use as many cards as they would like to individually create a list of
\nwords\/phrases associated with their concept of \u2018freedom\u2019. They are guided to use sentence
\nstarters; \u201cI feel free when\u201d and \u201cFreedom is\u201d. Participant responses ranged from stating when
\nthey feel free and why they feel free, when they feel safe and when they feel happy.<\/p>\n

Theme 5: The Sharing | Categorising definitions<\/strong>
\n*A photography of the dictionary definition can be utilised*
\nReturning back to a collaborative activity, participants share aloud what they have written on
\ntheir cards and begin pairing and categorising each and everyone’s personal definitions.<\/p>\n

Categories:<\/strong>
\n1. Autonomous
\n2. Alone
\n3. Expectations
\n4. Stability
\n5. Expression (Physically)
\n6. Expression (Creative)
\n7. Creatively expressing
\n8. Other people
\n9. No judgement
\n10. Feeling
\n11. Commitment<\/p>\n

Theme 6: Final definition<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using the newfound categories, the group decides on whether to create a final definition
\ncollectively or in smaller groups. Collectively, they begin to create a distinct definition that goes
\nwith each of their social values and expressions.<\/p>\n

Final definition: Freedom is being satisfied with yourself, surroundings and social standing in
\nsociety\u2019<\/p>\n

Theme 7: Pledge<\/strong>
\nTo close the workshop, Jamal asks the participants to create a pledge that will allow them to
\ncontinue exploring their freedom in the future. Many ideas were shared across the duration of
\ntime given to come up with pledge:
\n– Be as content with yourself, surroundings and standing in society
\n– Make choices that will make happy
\n– Pledge that suits the world you live in
\n– Commitment to ATTEMPT to trying
\n– Be reasonable with yourself
\nFinal Pledge: \u2018I pledge to make good choices for me in this current moment\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
