16TH-20TH OCT
Preparing for the exhibition was a bit tricky in making sure all the items were ready for the day. Apart from the collection of items by the day, I would say the actual layout of the expedition was easy and straightforward as my group and I carefully planned out how we would have it laid out and came to an agreement on that, which in turn made it very helpful to know how things would turn out. Candles and a clear sign were used on the table to give it some extra detail to the eye so the table was engaging for people to interact with.
Ultimately, assessment 4 was a challenge for my group. We did have some challenges during the semester, which hindered us in certain aspects. I could not come to class for the duration, which was disappointing as I genuinely enjoyed the time I had in class and working with my team. As for what I would do differently next time, I would maybe carefully plan out a timeline from the beginning as that was done later, which saved us from deadlines but did put some stress on us before it was done. By doing this for next time this will allow a seamless group working experience. Having said that I am very proud of what my group and I achieved for the expedition and how we overcame the obstacles on the way.
It was a rewarding experience seeing attendees of the expedition enjoy the items we had out for display as well as ask questions regarding items that were able to educate them on the significance of what they had for the topic of forgotten histories.
Of course, as the last blog post, I would like to give special thanks to Elizabeth Marsden from the Capitol team, Olympia Szilagyi from the AFI Research Collection, Marc Morel from the Capitol, and Adrian Danks.
