Design Statement for Poster

Design Statement:

To create a performance in forming common ground between my two target demographics - the Turkish youth culture of Kreuzberg and their elders. I have adapted the traditional norm of a performance into the form of an exchange in which the action of teaching and learning of dance, both breakdance and traditional Turkish folklore is the performance. The purpose for this is to create empathy between my demographics and subsequently enable them to better understand each other to become a more cohesive community.

Bringing people together is my focus therefore I have tried to incorporate a traditional Turkish style architecture with a contemporary street aesthetic inspired interior. As my exploded isometric diagram suggests, the structure will be made of plywood with a painted texture to emulate stone. This is trying to play on the idea that my float is temporary, but it feels like it could be permanent.
