| The Trifold Gallery |
The Trifold Gallery works like an instruction piece, with a printed poster that will accompany the board. In bold letters, the sign will give the participant instructions:
1) Draw, Write, Doodle.
2) Tell us what socio-political cause you care about.
The participant can have the choice to draw freely on the board or take a post-it note and make their drawing there which will be posted on the board. I want the participant to write freely and let them have time to draw and write whatever they want before telling us about a cause they care about. This intervention is like a research project in its own right. The Art of Activism book states, " Research and observation can be done anywhere, from noticing the colors and forms around you to reading a celebrity gossip magazine" (pg. 62). In this sense, we are reaching out to the NJCU community to participate in our own interactive study while also encouraging people to think about important issues they want to represent. At this point, the Tri-fold gallery is in its sketch phase, a trial alternative for our greater plans. " It is easy to imagine ideas like fruit in a field and, as we wander through the orchard of our mind, we pick and choose the sweetest and ripest fruit" (pg. 64). As this is the first intervention I want to ensure that we can get the notice out there and hype up the idea of a student gallery event.

The Tri-fold Gallery is a research intervention that will encourage students to be creative with the supplies provided. It lets them stop and think about the activist causes they are interested in while they are creating and give insight into what the NJCU community is united in the most. The results of this intervention can then go towards the second invention as it is geared towards the NJCU community's interests.
