The Territories Presentations are upon us, here is a graphic outlining my concept so far. Looking at tribal civilisation and how it has been affected by the spread of colonialism, I want to explore the narrative of tribalism spreading in our modern society. This is not to focus on the overt, wherein the tribal system is dragged and dropped forcibly in a society where it doesn't really belong any more (though this is the way colonialism and empires spread, it's slightly too ignorant to design for such circumstances).
The idea is to look at the more subtle nuances of tribal life in our everyday and how they can be emphasised. I also need to stop borrowing visual language from tribes - the designs and tribes of my project need to emerge from the culture within which they are based.
