 Concept : 

 When I took the Design Thinking course , I was in the midst of collaborating with many senior   and young artists to create an art piece I named the “ Chariot Worrier . ” The artwork was a com- pressed wire sculpture that depicts a Nubian warrior on an antiquity chariot . This very idea of co - creating art in collaboration with a number artists from different cultural   backgrounds , expertise , and disciplines a was born on a trip I took to my home country Sudan in   May of 2014 . The trip was my first visit that was longer than a week after almost 30 years . Dur- ing the past thirty years , the country went through horrible civil wars mostly based on old eth- nic and religious tensions . “ Nubian Warrior ” on an antiquity chariot The Idea , and the challenges of the co - creating an Art piece that deals with the malleability of   Ethnic   and religious identities    Background The place I visited in 2015 was not the place I left thirty years ago . It changed drastically . There   has been a vicious civil war between the South and North part of the country . The quarter of a   century years war claimed the lives of millions of civilians and resulted in a divided nation , first   geographically into two separate states and along perceived ethnic and religious demarcation   lines . Add to that the north part of the country saw its genocidal war that left more than three   hundred thousand dead and two million displaced . Sad enough for the astute observer , it ’s clear that identity politics , racial and religious tensions   are on the rise across the globe and in many societies . As a result of that , we see ethnic strife ,   civil wars , and displacements of vulnerable populations is replacing social harmony , embracing   diversity and constructive and open dialogue .    Project Goals and Objects The project aims at achieving the following :   1- Engaging young artists in exploring the possibility of creating a public artwork that examine   concepts such as malleability of race , religion , language and culture   2- Exploring shared historical artifacts as a source of affinity   3- Creating public art with the intent of helping the viewers embrace their multi - identity history . 

 Exploration of the central concept and requesting Artists contributions as stakeholders and project participants . Utilizing Visualization and Mind Mapping to achieve   design    breakthroughs . Questions I asked   young artists- stakeholder What do you think of malleability   Culture , Race and Religion ?   1 - I have asked the team to contribute with ideas as of how to pull a project that is reflective of   the original theme of “ malleability of creed and culture ” and how we can create an engaging   and thought - provoking Art for the viewing public . 2- Do you think artistic interventions can be mean to engage citizenry into propping their group   and personal narrative about race , class , and culture ?   3- The core idea behind creating this artwork is to engage young artists in seeing new possibili- ties and opportunities to provide a renewed vision for the societies where they live . This partic- ular land has gone through terrible times , and it ’s the task of the artists to create works that can   ask questions that examine the status quo . 4-   Artists will be asked to contribute ideas that will make the artwork deliver on its promise of   creating affinity and have viewers rethink their own family , racial and national group narrative   they thought they were wedded to for a long time .

 Art Project Proposal Design Draft -01 ------------------------------- This was presented as a seed project and it is totally pen for chal- lenge and change by other participants 

 Questions   I asked Experts Consultants     I used the platform of design thinking to encourage project consultant   to add drawings , tech- nical specs , and ideas onto the original concept artwork . 

 Concept   1- I encouraged conceptual review of the original premise . And , I asked senior artist to chal- lenge young artists to rethink   my approach .   I demanded they engage young artist   in discov- eries and   find alternative ideas , methods , that can positively impact   project final result . 

 Material and Execution   2- How to ensure that we build the work in modeler way that allows for safe , cost - effective   shipping ? 2- What is the best material to use to create the piece and add value and meaning to the   original concept ?   3- Cost of material and the possibility of obtaining all material locally ? 

 Method for Project Collaboration As seen in the picture above my preferred way of sharing ideas was to use sticky notes to   gather as many possible opinions within the group .   Because this project will be worked on remotely , and all key participants are in different geo- graphical location . I thought creating the main art board with the ability to add sticky notes   will be an excellent practice that I borrowed from the course . 

 Project Insights so far 1- There is an assumption that lead artist , designers and project managers know better . Up to   now , not much was added by other stakeholders , especially young artists .   2- I had to engage   more young artists to expand the pool of talent and hopefully diversity of   opinions 3- To remove the question of the medium , I asked for a contribution from young artists each   in their medium of expression . Project Notes The project is still in under development , and I will continue to engage stakeholders and   gather opinions to build up with what I would call shared esthetics that will deliver the mean- ing to the public and encourage the artists to provide leadership and artistic interventions   when deemed necessary .
