In our class last week we were debating on who we should make this Ka installation for. We went around and each group came up with some ideas for people, real or fake, that we would like to honor. Some examples were MLK, Morgan Freeman, Bob Marley, and Batman. After the class voted we got the final choice down to either Bob Marley or Batman.
Each student came out of their shell a little bit while debating the pros and cons of each. Many of us came up to the agreement that if we were to do Bob Marley it could be a very controversial, since many people have an instinct to associate Marijuana with him. Some people said that we could look beyond this and try to focus on the good things he represents such as equality, love, and the fact that he was a musical genius. It took us quite a while to come up with a solution to this problem because some students didn't not want to budge on their oppinions which is very respectable. With the help of our teachers, we came up with a plan that a majority of us will do bob marley while another small group will work on a separate project. Our plan in to honor Bob Marley without showing his face, so that the viewers will not make any assumptions about us for making it. Stay tuned to see our project being worked on. -BD
