Culture Jam 2.0

I decided to redo my culture jam project. I felt that it was the weakest of the projects that were assigned and I felt that the idea I was trying to project didn't show based on feedback from my piers. I kept the theme of keeping the earth clean and healthy. This time, I drew my original character and scanned it into the software. I went with a "sad stump" to show that a former tree is depressed because of the new life he lives. I added the symbol for recycling to show that if more recycling were to happen less trees would have to suffer his fate.

I jammed this in the cafeteria at SFSU. In the upper cafe and lower cafe seating areas. I placed these flyers that I printed out onto tables in the morning and handed them to people who were getting coffee or breakfast. Though this was my second culture jam I was still hesitant and anxious to carry out the jam. Taking photos was the hardest part. I was even more scared to the point of being in panic, to take a picture of people. I wasn't comfortable with people looking at me. I think this is because I didn't know if they were okay with my art, or with the idea of the jam, or something similar. Something inside me is ashamed or embarrassed to share things without the permission of other people taking it in. It reminded me of proselytizing one's faith.
