Issue 08: Frames

In Issue 08: Frames, the Source Material team asked students and alumni to explore the myriad ways we document and remember our lived experiences. We each capture moments we want to hold onto, and how we choose to frame these memories influences how we recall them in the future.

Issue 09: Taboo
»
For Issue 09 of Source Material publication, we wanted to ask the question of what is Taboo? Cultural norms to personal boundaries, we tried exploring, through submitted works, what was acceptable and not, and if there are any similarities and differences. We hope that there can be connections made, like “yea that’s me too”. Or to get to know something new. During the workshop, we’ve done a quick activity of listing anything that comes to mind when thinking of a taboo, nothing off-limits.
