The Theme of SPACES
Think about a space in a cultural context. Consider any space and its impact or meaning within a culture. Your focus can be as broad as looking at the impact of outer space on cultures to considering your local village or neighborhood. Develop from an artistic standpoint how you see these relationships between a space and a culture.
