Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
To create a body of work that addresses the question of how narrative, allegory, and the action of storytelling affects our cultures. This can be evaluated by the dialogue that will be developed through the work. The work itself will be in narrative form, and will mirror and emulate previous infamous figures in storytelling. 2: To interact with the community through public exhibition. How the concept is received by the public, and how much dialogue is developed from the exhibition.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Not only discourse about storytelling, tales of morality and their purpose, but discussions about gender identity have been prevalent.
