Internship Selfie
Journal
The best thing that I've learned so far is that there is always something to do. Projects are being designed, research is being made, ideas pop out and everyone has to keep moving. There is no such thing as wasting time because everything that is being done has a purpose, and as soon as you are done with something you have to move on with the next thing on the list.
I am now part of the Art Rocks the Boat exhibit team, which will be an exhibit about the women liberation movement and second wave of feminism during the 60's and 70's focusing on the arts. I will be helping with the musical arts. This week I came up with a couple of ides for this section and researched all about the women with major musical influence during this movement. I found this online Women's Liberation Movement archive which is more focused on the 80's and 90's. Still, the website contains a great variety of pictures including old news paper articles, flyers announcing concerts and events, vintage pictures and plenty of other things that represent the result of the movement during the 60's and 70's. These pictures have great potential and should definitely be part of the exhibit. I talked to my mentor and she liked the idea. I'm thinking of creating a collage to show the aftermath of the movement. I still need to talk to more people about this since it is not confirmed to be part of the exhibit, but I believe it is a potential option.
Overall, I feel very independent. I know what I have to do and by when it has to get done. As soon as I'm done with something I know what I have to do next. I really happy with my internship and it feels great to be welcomed by such a hard-working team. The one-hour journey every morning is definitely worth it.
