  1. Setting the Stage for Exhibition #3 A Correspondence between History and My-Story The Scrapbook of a Witness and The Search for Meaning Attention Writers and Artists! Bear Witness! Speak Truth!

  2. Warm-Up and Discussion What are your expectations for this project? What do you hope to get out of it? What do you hope it will be?

  3. Read the definition of correspondence: • Agreement with something else or with one another; • A similarity or analogy; • Communication by exchange of letters Discuss: What do you notice?

  4. Based on this understanding and definition of a correspondence, think more deeply about the nature of our project: A Correspondence Between History and My-Story. Free-write on the following topics: • What are the ‘messages’ of the events you have been studying about that are in agreement with the messages you live, or that you feel we need in our world? Why? 2. What is similar about what people in the past have gone through and experienced and understood, and what you have studied, gone through and understand in your own life? Can you make an analogy between the two?

  5. In small groups, spend time examining the different examples/models (Griffin and Sabine, One Survivor Remembers, McSweeney’s 19, Montage Images, The Whalphin, Speak, So You Can Speak Again…) For each example/model: • What do you see? • What kind of correspondence is this? • What is being communicated? By whom? To whom? Why? • What do you like about this examples/model? (physically, story wise, interaction, color, writing, etc…) • What ideas would you like to ‘borrow’ for your own project?

  6. Look over and reflect upon the wealth of writing and creation you have already done on the Search for Meaning Project (scrapbook, writings, letters, drawings, reflections, etc…). With the current project in mind, think about the following: • What of your own work stands out to you as being of value? As having said something important? Relevant? Meaningful? • What work would you like to re-visit, re-fine, or improve upon? • What of this work that you have already done seems to lend itself to being included in this project?

  7. Think for a little while about your interests, strengths and the talents you possess that you can use to contribute to this project (be specific!): Collage? Comics? Writing? Writing “in character”? Performance? Design? Flash? Keynote? Photography? Music? Drawing? Painting? ??????
