BECAUSE
"Leila, we had many students start not only photo projects based on your work but also building public engagement work inspired by it."_Mallory Shotwell
Take a Photo of Your TV News or any Program that You Watch every day
-
Take two photos with your cellphone (one landscape-oriented and the other one portrait-oriented) from your TV news/shows/program or movie scenes that you watch every day.

Your photo should include your TV and have some extra space in its Surroundings where your TV is located.
-
Please do not edit your photos.
-
You can also include any piece of writing, poem, or story along with your TV photo, and it should start with Because.
-
Send the photo along with your name, city, and country to lghasempor@saic.edu.
This public-engaging project was created to engage the public with their reasons for watching TV. I also expanded this project in collaboration with ESL students and English instructor Arman Ghasempour in two English classes in Iran. In Spring 2023 this project was exhibited in "Embodied Homescape" curated by Mallory Shotwell at Cultivate in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was so rewarding to hear about the educational impact and inspiration of this project on students who visited the show.
