Exhibition Narrative

                Globalization is a touchy and controversial subject for some and has existed for hundreds of years. Although this topic may not be new, this globalization exhibit will need to present itself in a new way that meets and fulfills all the human senses to those of today’s culture. It needs to be refreshing and give people insight on what’s going on in the world today in terms of economic trade and global interaction.

                Globalization has allowed regional economies, societies and cultures to become integrated. Through globalization there has been a global network of political ideas through communication, trade and transportation. It is the interaction among people, and companies at different nations, now which is mostly done through technology. Some believe that globalization will allow poor countries to advance and raise their standards of living when in actuality; I beg to differ and believe that there is no other country that can top America in technological advances, money and power. Most countries that we trade with are poor countries. Some may benefit and some may not due to what’s created or what region it is coming out of. This exhibition needs to intertwine the lives of the individuals who don’t see what goes on behind the trade world. I want this exhibition to create a space where individuals can see physical objects in front of them but have a presentation or projection along with the item showcasing how the item was made, where it came from, who made it etc. I’m not exactly sure how I would like to showcase these individual spaces but I Know I want to use technology, with touch screens or even projectors to get my main points across.

                I want visitors of this exhibition to leave feeling informed and refreshed. I want people to leave this exhibition and go tell others to go and see it as well. I want the viewer to emotionally and physically get what point the design is trying to get across. Globalization some may agree or disagree with and probably will never have a wrong or right answer for. This exhibit will allow for those to come up with their own answer based on what they see, hear and feel. This exhibit will compare the world of trade and compare and contrast what really goes on in the American world as opposed to other countries.
