ENGAGING THE FUTURE THROUGH ENGAGING THE PAST:
A MULTI-MEDIA INTERPRETIVE EXPERIENCE ON THE \u201cROAD OF DEVELOPMENT\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

When we first conceived of this installation, we were motivated by the simple observation that development is happening. \u00a0It is happening regardless of what community members or anthropologists or artists might have to say about the many forces and practices that make up the nebulous term. \u00a0In many respects, it is not often possible to simply embrace or reject changes. \u00a0Development forces must be negotiated. \u00a0What works for some individuals, communities and nations may or may not work for others. \u00a0Our hope is to create a conversation- or a convergence of many conversations- which take\/s into account both the daily small-scale negotiations, as well as larger projects and policies undertaken at the national level. \u00a0This conversation involves multiple perspectives, explores multiple drivers and involves many key players. \u00a0This installation is an experiential event but, of course, we don\u2019t need the stations on this road to experience development- we feel, consider and negotiate development changes every day, through our work, as well as through our lives. Our lives are, in large part, a product of all we have encountered on this road. \u00a0By highlighting major stops along the development road, we hope to have provided a window into how a knowledge of the past and the present can lead us in to a more considered future.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
