Earlier this week, I felt a little stuck, and I started a conversation with one of my friends in Colombia, who I also consider one of my stakeholders. She is one of the people who responded to my last intervention. I felt a little defeated and like I didn’t know what to do, so I shared one of my other interventions from before I finished the master’s, and she gave me a couple of ideas I found important to include here. It started with an idea of getting people to speak more vulnerably about their body-image issues and giving them information about where some of those issues might come from. This started as an idea for a card game in the format of “We’re Really Not Strangers” to spark deeper conversations, and this could be an interesting idea to explore. Secondly, she talked about making an artifact in the form of a body and getting different people to interact with it and share how they felt about their bodies, and I also thought this could be something I could implement further as well; these were two of her ideas. These conversations are really helpful because hearing people’s perspectives on what this could end up looking like is really interesting to me. I am going to keep on trying to see what this might end up looking like because I have found this process really hard and also not something I am used to because the expectations and what things have to look like have always been very clear, and having them look in different ways has been very interesting but at the same time challenging for me.
