CARINA COSTOM
Part 1: FAQ and informed consent process. READ THE FAQ HERE.
Part 2: You and me (a friend can be present too), a conversation or two and an audio recorder. We can meet in person or over zoom. We talk, I can offer some warm up questions, I mostly listen, I press record.
After our meeting, I transcribe your sharing, send it to you for approval, then, I make art in my home studio a.k.a. my living room and my kitchen lol.
OPTIONAL: You can also make art in a medium of your choice (Written or visual) and can choose to include it the project.
Part 3: On another occasion, or on the same day, I take a portrait of you with my camera (optional), you can also choose to have a deeply meaningful family object be photographed instead (optional).
Part 4: When a first draft takes shape around Spring 2026, there may be an opportunity for an in person or Zoom check in to share the journey so far and next steps for me/the project, for participants, and at the community level.
CAN I SEE THE STORY AND THE VISUAL ART WORK?
Yes, in time, when informed consent is in place for all participants and the work has progressed enough to be shown.
WILL I BE ABLE TO CONNECT WITH OTHER PARTICIPANTS?
Yes, that is part of the vision down the road if it is desired by community.
WHAT IS YOUR ARTISTIC GOAL?
So, my short term artistic goal is to transform your and my parenting stories (the audio record of the interview and its transcript) into art.
a) a written reply: using one of these traditional forms: essay/poem/short story/ tale.
