    U6 submission: Report

    This is a low-res copy of the report on my public-facing activity for Unit 6. It reflects on my Archive of Decisions project. The next stage of Unit 6 will be to contextualise and expand on this activity through research in my thesis. In the report, I reflected on how the framework I created engaged…

    U6: Reflections on public activity so far

    I have now delivered 3 days of decision-collecting activities in Mérida. I made reflective voicenotes at the end of each day and have used AI to help me to summarise the key points here. Day 1 – Friday (Mérida English Library) Day 2 – Tuesday Day 3 – Wednesday Reflections on the Activity Delivered In…

  • U6: First thoughts on public-facing project

    For my unit 6, I want to develop the idea of my unit 3 video work ‘Talking about decisions’ into a larger project that I’m calling ‘The Archive of Decisions’. The idea being to collect decisions from members of the public and bring these into dialogue with one another, in a sort of archive. In…

  • Unit 5: What remains?

    Strongest memory from U5 – a moment from class that remains in your mind? What readings/materials had the biggest impact on you, do you remember best and why? (Either from the course reading or that you found yourself prompted by the course) Were there any moments that ‘caught’, where you felt friction, felt personally challenged…

  • U5 submission: Portfolio of Experimentation

    This is my second submission for unit 5, which represents a portfolio of experimentation. I decided to focus my experiments on pushing forward my writing practice – an area of my practice that I’ve not given much space on MAIP so far. I started with a very wide brief, but over the course of the…

    U4: Wayfaring: Reflections on travel as learning

    For my REBEL project, I’m planning to reflect on my experience of travel and looking to understand it as learning gain, for me personally and in relation to my practice as a writer and communicator. I will be analysing how these experiences have shaped my ways of thinking, ways of being, and doing. And how…

    U5: Portfolio of experimentation – reflections on failure

    I have been reflecting on ideas of failure in relation to my portfolio of experimentation.  I spent a lot of last week in a deep state of failure. I was struggling to get to grips with what exactly my experiments had been about, and was worried that it had all been for nothing.  During this…

  • U5: A portfolio of experimentation in writing – starting point

    Following on from my thinking over the past two blogs, I’ve decided to use my portfolio of experimentation to set myself a series of writing-based experiments and challenges to push forward my practice.  I’m looking at my practice through an intercultural lens – examining how it is an intercultural practice in and of itself (translation,…

  • U5: First thoughts on Portfolio of Experimentation

    Our second task for Unit 5 is to create a Portfolio of Experimentation. The idea is to push our practice forward, expanding into unfamiliar and untested areas. The focus is on process and experimentation, not the final product. We should set ourselves a series of tasks, challenges and experimental activities, which we then try to…

  • Y2 Priorities – Portfolio of Experimentation, REBEL & Capstone project

    Y2 Priorities – Portfolio of Experimentation, REBEL & Capstone project

    I’ve spent the past week with an old friend from the UK, who was visiting me here in Mexico. We’ve known each other since we were about 3 years old, but I don’t think we’ve ever spent such a concentrated period of time together. Inevitably, we ended up talking a lot about our lives, our…
