A Photo Piece Exploring Uncomfortable and Comfortable MixedFolx Spaces

Mixed Spaces is a photo/interview project that will look at the experiences of Mixed individuals (those

who identify as having a multi-racial/ethnic/cultural background). The focus of these

experiences will be on the spaces and locations where the subject has felt either

comfortable or uncomfortable based on how they identify. This project is being conducted by HVY SKY productions.

SPECIFICATIONS

INTERVIEW: The interview portion will explore the experiences of being Mixed in

America and how different spaces can provide more or less comfort. There will be a

15-minute pre-interview with each subject to go over everything and best figure out

where the interview/photoshoot will take place. The audio of the interview will be

recorded and sections will be transcribed for the article.

PHOTOSHOOT: The key element to the photoshoot is the location. The photoshoot will

take place after the interview. The goal is to find a spot that is connected to what

was discussed in the interview. The locations can also be inspired by, similar to, or

metaphorical. During the pre-interview, we’ll also cover wardrobe, hair and makeup,

and stylistic tone.

Interviews and photoshoots will ideally happen on the same day but can be broken up

into multiple days.
