Talk:Blank Noise Project
From CopperWiki
Hi,
There are lots of gaps in information.
How did the project take shape of a mass movement? What did she do in her projct that it appealed to people? Did it make a difference in places where it was supposed to make a difference? Does public art comprise only posters and graffiti?
Why is the author discussing it as Jasmeen's project? Why is so much emphasis placed on her, how she thought of the project, her "authorial role" and so on? I mean I can visit her blog site ( reference could be given at the bottom of the page) to get all this information. Why is all this a part of the copperwiki platform?
Instead I would like to know "the role of public art in creating awareness". What does public art comprise? How has it been used in various parts of the world and what has been its effectiveness? How is it used in conjugation with other mediums to raise awareness? What are the essentials of making such a project a success ( here examples of Jasmeen's work can be given provided it was a success. Author has not given any facts to support the same)
When I read an article in copperwiki, I am looking to enhance my awareness on a particluar issue. If the issue here is eve teasing or public arts, then lets not have matter on Jasmeen and her thought process. I will go to her blog site to know that.
Regards MV
[edit] role of public art
i think public art can be dealt with in a seperate article. this was about the blank noise project and so the author is talking about it.
[edit] Stop rescue mission
The family will in return answer with every word and action taken. If the family says, " I understand. Please leave and don't expect any money, help or support in any way unless you decide to get help," then the person is left to run his/her life which they generally do not have the ability to do, and before long you have a person who "DECIDES" that rehab is the best thing and calls saying just that. If on the other hand the family sort of acts disappointed and carries on as usual, then the person gets the message that it is OK to continue this lifestyle and will put up even more resistance to the next intervention having bested the intervention team previously. Obviously, there are certain risks involved with either approach and should be evaluated clearly before hand. One thing is sure, as long as the addict continues to use drugs or alcohol, they risk the major risk is their life.
The bottom line is that an addicted person needs to decide, for any reason, that they need help. Most " locked down " approaches fail because the person is not part of his recovery. The only way an addict can usually fight against the addiction is when enough external pressure is applied to cause them to decide to quit. The pressure has to be greater than the drug is putting on the individual. Many call this "the bottom". However, there can be many bottoms. Obviously some are lower than others, but each can make an addict quit drugs. It just depends on what happens when the individual is there. For instance if a person is facing serious charges and is very scared. The person will either have an intervention and go to treatment or will get through this situation and be back out using. In the final analysis, it is often the family who both spots the incident and uses it to achieve treatment, or misses and waits.
