MAIN SHOWCASE EVENT

FINALISING EXHIBITION LAYOUT AND PUTTING WORK UP AT FEDERATION HOUSE

After the workshops at DACA done by both of the groups we finalised the idea of hanging up the boiler suits and shirts at the Federation House. However, when we last planned for the exhibition we were told to tell the tutors what we had need and they would prove it for us. But one day before the exhibition we found out that we will not be able to get the vinyl for the lettering and so we had to plan for alternative for the day. Also the evaluation procedure had also changed and instead we had fabric and sharpies for the students and people who have done Unit X to write with.

On the day of the exhibition we had gone to the place and had to start making everything we needed from scratch. Anna and Claire were there to help us also. After a few hours of work we finally got the look we wanted and the group agreed with the layout.

We left the fabric on a roll with a sign on the wall stating that anyone who has done Unit X can come and write how they found it and roll the fabric down if they need any space. Our unit X group started of writing first so there is something for the viewers to see to motivate them to come and write on the fabric. Also, we had some photos printed of our workshops that we did at DACA on the wall so they could see some visuals of what we had done.

Even though we had to make some drastic changes to the exhibition because of late notices on some things we all worked as a team to get it all together and the work up on time. I also realised it took longer than we all thought it would take to put this whole exhibition together, but we all made decisions as a team and helped each other which helped us get the exhibition up on time.
