When I think of contact Zones, I think of safe places. Safe places within your mind, as well as your surroundings. Through this class I have been able to read the "Arts of the Contact Zone", by Mary Louise Pratt, and at first I was not able to understand it, but later on I began to comprehend it, through class discussions. Often times i am still confused by the definition from the different ways it is used in text but, I still believe it to have to do with safe places. For my six weeks project I would like to explore the comfortability of people and their contact zones. I want to know how the things around you and your background affect the way you react and/ or need your contact zones to be. What makes a contact zone, Your specific contact zone and why?
