BODY AND CONTEXT (14th & 15th Oct)

On Wednesday, we continued with the sculpture. We started with body where we used empty cement bags which were dipped in concrete. These were placed over the "shoulder". We did this on both side. Then using the wire mesh, the head structure was made. The difficult part was placing the head on the shoulder. It kept on moving, so we asked our facilitator Narendra for help. A stick was used to make the head still n clay was used for making facial structure. Concrete mixture was used for one last coating.And we were done!
Today all of us had to come only at 10 in the morning to have a discussion. Narendra brought the same topic which he asked us at the beginning,"What is a body?".  A body has a physical structure with an identity. It also has no boundaries since they are connected to each other. When the word choices came up, a conflict was arising. Some were saying there should be individualism and accepting other people's choices and others saying to adjust to the society and being sensitive. We all need to be both depending upon the situation. Then we talked leadership, Here also a leader should be democratic as well as autocratic. A body should be concussion about the surroundings.
