Agreement for our group:
We should develop an agreed framework, rules or manifesto for what we want this group to be and achieve.
Add a range 1 (very sensitive) – 10 (rock solid) from where you are at emotionally at the top of your submission to give group a green light for how much criticality you are emotionally ready for.
Send a reminder on the day you have posted your work on Google docs for feedback.
Clear set of questions for observation
This is what I’m seeing
This is what I understand/this is how it makes me feel
I think I feel this way because/what are my own subjectivities
In conjunction with my own subjectivity they are connected to these theories or these other bodies of work/artists
Explain the why
Mindful of use of language
Mindful use of time, continuous of other people's time and voice
Come from a critical place with good intention
Permission to say what you need
The more specific you are the more feedback you get
Its ok to be critical
Ask a question or series of questions (this helps you get out of a personal reaction) – Turn your reaction into a question
Critique as proposition – This doesn’t work for me – Why it doesn’t work for me – How it will work for me
Please add or make any changes.
If no changes are made by 1st September then we have all agreed to follow these agreements and support each other.
