By the Work of Her Hands - Événement du vendredi 09 janvier 2015

Dernière ligne droite !!!

Les 100 derniers mètres ne sont pas faciles. Les derniers tournages ont caractérisé cette dernière semaine. En parallèle, les étudiants élaborent leurs montages et apportent une touche finale à leurs projets.

  

Une atmosphère de stress et de tension a régné durant ces derniers jours mais soulagée par des moments conviviaux passés aux côtés des femmes qui nous ont préparé spécialement un bon couscous. MIAM MIAM !!!

Autre fait marquant! Les femmes ont atteint leur objectif avec succès. Elles ont abouti à la dernière étape de la broderie.

A découvrir…

Et c’est parti pour le montage !

 

Après les étapes de préparation et de production, les étudiants de l’ISCA ont entamé la phase de montage. Le concept commence à prendre forme.

 Des nuits blanches nous attendent ! 

Une semaine encore plus concluante !

Grâce au soutien de l’ISCA, à la 
très GÉNÉREUSE Madame Asmaa BENACHIR et la parfaite collaboration des femmes, la semaine du 26 Janvier 2015 s’est très bien déroulée. Les tournages avancent bien et les résultats sont satisfaisants.

                                                              

L’esprit compétitif est présent et les étudiants marocains donnent le meilleur d’eux-mêmes pour réussir leurs projets.

Hâte au montage !

Holly Farkas

My name is Holly Farkas, I’m a San Francisco native, and am in my second year at NYU. For lack of better words, I’ve always described myself as someone very academically interested, but not so academically talented. I’ve always had to work a bit harder in class but outside of the classroom I’ve started discovering a very creative side to the way I think. I want to contribute some small piece of beauty to the world, in what form I have no idea. But I’ve been learning it’s not about being excellent at one thing or knowing exactly what you want to do, but rather craving knowledge and being eager to discover new things and make plenty of mistakes while doing it. I am currently pursuing creative writing and poetry as a Global Liberal Studies Major with a concentration in Contemporary Cultures and Creative Production, as well as a double minor in creative writing and art history.

Adam Zhujiang

My name is Adam Zhujiang, and I am currently studying Media, Culture, and Communications at New York University. My hometown is a small and cozy suburb in Southern California called Redlands. Whenever people ask me why I decided to pack my life away in a few suitcases and move to New York, my response would be "Because I’m not going to like it there." And to be frank, I didn’t. Well, initially at least. I have only ever grown up in the suburbs, and city life seemed overwhelming. But, over time, with every slice of pizza, every concert, every sporting event, and every new friend I made, New York has slowly become my home. I came to New York because I knew obstacles were inevitable and I wanted to challenge myself to excel in this unfamiliar environment. Ultimately, stepping out of my comfort zone is something that I am very happy and very comfortable, with doing.
However, when I’m not busy challenging myself, I am a passionate fantasy football team manager who studied abroad in Argentina. I also enjoy ethnic food that I cannot pronounce
