As a continuation of the ideas I wrote on my mind map I thought about the interviews that I want to do with people. I want to get the views of women of different ages, jobs and backgrounds so I think I will only interview one or two girls in my class. I looked at other interviews about black feminism to get some ideas and came up with this questions:
- Would you consider yourself a feminist/black feminist? If so why and what does it mean to be one to you?
- What led you to become a feminist?
- Are there any women in your life who have been an inspiration to you?
- What has been your experiences as a black woman?
- Do you think the fashion industry/other creative industries are racist?
- What do you think of the natural hair movement?
- Why do you think there is a need for black feminism to be a separate thing to feminism/white feminism?
- What is your favourite thing about being a black woman?
I think these are a good set of questions to ask my interviews and when interviewing them they should be able to lead me to other questions depending on what they say. I think it will be interesting to get the views of people who work in different industries and are different ages so I can see if these factors make a difference in the views and answers.
Next I went back to my mood board and found imagery to support the themes on it so I could have visual imagery to start my development. To find these images I looked through books, magazines and the internet. I used one or two image from each theme and put these on a large board in front of my work space so I will always have my main inspiration right in front of me while working so if I'm ever lost for ideas or I'm not sure where I'm going with this project I can look at it and find inspiration.
To progress after today I am going to start my interviews, starting with a girl in my class called Bernice. I am also going to do more in depth research on my themes and try to find some exhibitions I can visit.
