Project 2
This project was the second project from my year long Thesis class. This project was a group project, where we focused on a topic that all of us agreed on, which was Immigration. We specifically focused on the word Pluriversality, which means "understanding the co-existence of diverse beliefs and principles". In the book, we looked at the topic of Immigration, focused on what it really means, and why it is such an issue or solution for people.
The book was half printed on Riso, and half on a laser printer (any black ink was laser, and the pink insert pages were laser, anything else was Riso), and then Lasso stitched together.
In the "passport" we focused on illegal immigration to the US, which is why on the first page (below), we took a quote from the US Immigration Departments website, and we decided to critique it, because the phrase itself is contradictory to actual events going on in the US.
Another detail that we added was small page inserts, which we used to focus on stories from actual immigrants that crossed the border. Some of them legally, and some of the illegally, to compare the struggles they all faced to come here, and the things that they gave up to stay in the US.
The page below was one of my favorites because it represents the US-Mexico border wall, but with the level app from the iPhone. The instructions on the right show how to use it, but to give more detail, the closer you are to the border wall (the bubbles closest to the book binding), when more you have to bend your neck up to see the top of it. The farther you are from the wall, the less you have to bend your neck to see the top of it (the bubbles that are farthest from the inner binding).
