Coming together in German-Iranian tandems 2020
-
Introducing the students together through a short summary of their
individual prospected projects and discussing their interests so as to join
them in groups of 2-4 members.
-
Exchange of the ideas by the students to find connections between
their projects in digital rooms.
-
Formation of the tandems: eventually, students started their group
in three main categories mentioned earlier.
· Ecology, anthropocene: working on the different understandings of
sustainability and the meaning of water
· Alternative lifestyle: first tandem is interested in evaluating the
poor and working-class perception of the voluntary charitable actions and the
rich respectively. Second tandem is interested in exploring successful or unsuccessful
forms of shelters built for female homeless and refugees.
· Aesthetic practices: interested in aesthetics
in various aspects of daily life including
fiction (bestseller novels),
social media (Instagram influencers), personal
beatification (makeup), and surrounding decorations (bathrooms).
