Reflecting on Space and Place​

Part I

I am a leader in my community. I am influenced by the place I live, work and people I interact with.  At the same time I influence the place, the work and the people I interact with. I am allowed to enter all the rooms and spaces except to the bedrooms and offices that belonged to one of the members of my community. Our bedroom and our office are our private areas, the only ones. Everywhere else all of us have access to. Upon permission, friends and families can visit all the common rooms in our community. From all the grounds and rooms, the public space where people can enter without permission is the temple, the church itself.

Writer’s Journal #12 – Reflecting on Space and Place​

OVERVIEW
Thinking about and working with space and place can be both confusing and deeply illuminating. Trying to get a sense of where we are physically can lead us to discoveries about our locations in broader, deeper senses.

DIRECTIONS
In this Writer’s Journal, you will have the opportunity to explore your relationship to place and space. This Writer’s Journal will include three parts.

Part I
Please consider the following questions, and take notes on your thoughts:

• • How is your position in your community (e.g., youth, leader, worker) influenced by the place where you live, work, relax?
  • Are there places/spaces you are not allowed to enter or participate? Why?
  • Do your friends, family, and co-workers have access to different places than you?
  • What spaces are private and what spaces are public? 
  • 
    

Part II
Based on your thoughts about the questions from Part I, choose one of the following tasks to complete:

• • Design a collage or draw images reflective of your position within the community. 
  • Using a smartphone app, design a photo collage reflective of your position within the community.
  • Make a video that is reflective of your position within the community.

Be sure to be as detailed and thorough as possible, and use examples to help explain your response. Be sure to read over your response to be sure it says what you want it to say.
