Joey and friends


The project draws on personal experiences of childhood and family life.

Within the family, as in life experiences in general, language becomes a weapon by which children and adults are judged. The values and opinions of those in 'power' are forced upon us, we choose (if we can) whether to conform or rebel.

In an ideal world we would not need to make this choice, we would be recognised as an individual, not judged by other's pre-conceived ideas or stereotypes.

The project has involved me working closely with others who have contributed their 'slogans'. These are often things said to them during childhood, words that seem harsh if not alot worse. It is easy to recognise the negativity of these words, but we claim them, turn them round and throw them back out.

We are all different.

 

El proyecto de Tracey utiliza las experiencias personales de la vida de familia y niñez.

Dentro de la familia, como con experiencias de la vida en general, el lenguaje se convierte en un arma por la cual los niños y los adultos son juzgados. El lenguaje fuerza los valores y las opiniones de aquellos que ejercen poder sobre nosotros, entonces nosotros escogemos si podemos, el conformarnos o rebelarnos.

En un mundo ideal nosotros no tendríamos que hacer esta opción, nosotros seríamos reconocidos como un individuo, no juzgado por ideas preconcebidas o estereotipos.

Este proyecto ha implicado trabajar estrechamente con personas que han contribuido con sus 'lemas'. Estos son a menudo cosas escuchadas durante la niñez, palabras que parecen ásperas si no han sido peores. Es fácil reconocer la reacción negativa de estas palabras, pero las buscamos, les damos la vuelta y las lanzamos de nuevo.

Todos somos diferentes.
