	~~Time frame~~
	~~Weeks 1 – 4: April 5~~ - ~~19, 2017~~

	~~Task Description~~
	~~In this assignment, you are invited to identify features in your every~~-day surroundings that you believe have symbolic meaning and to interpret that symbolism. The task employs a method called “photovoice” which uses pictures to identify particular landscapes and their symbolic nature. You will identify and take pictures of three landscapes, which hold peculiar meaning in terms of landscape democracy.

	For each picture, you will develop a caption that will seek to explain what these symbol(s) mean in the context of Landscape & Democracy. Examples of landscapes holding a symbolic values might be depicting sculptures or memorials referring to historical or political events, etc. Symbolic meaning can also be inherent in architectural/urban form. For example, a building or open space might symbolize changes that have taken place at certain times either because it reflects the identity of a long lost community or because they embody a new identity.

	Often, these symbols and meanings came into being during specific moments in time and reflected a particular power structure or set of cultural assumption. Power structures may be changing while symbols are either maintained, or removed, or reinterpreted. On the other hand, symbols can also appear outside of conventional power structures, spontaneously created, representing alternative approaches to ~~mainstream ideas.~~

	~~The following questions should be kept in mind as you approach this~~ photovoice ~~assignment: How~~ and ~~why did the symbols you identify appear in your surroundings? Did their meaning change along with socio~~-~~political changes in your region~~, ~~or country? What do these symbols mean to you today? Are they understandable for someone outside of your own culture?

You will identify and take pictures of three landscapes, which hold peculiar meaning in terms of landscape democracy.

For each picture, you will develop a caption that will seek to explain what these symbol(s) mean in the context of Landscape & Democracy. Examples of landscapes holding a symbolic values might be depicting sculptures or memorials referring to historical or political events, etc. Symbolic meaning can also be inherent in architectural/urban form. For example, a building or open space might symbolize changes that have taken place at certain times either because it reflects the identity of a long lost community or because they embody a new identity.

Often, these symbols and meanings came into being during specific moments in time and reflected a particular power structure or set of cultural assumption. Power structures may be changing while symbols are either maintained, or removed, or reinterpreted. On the other hand, symbols can also appear outside of conventional power structures, spontaneously created, representing alternative approaches to mainstream ideas.

Did their meaning change along with socio-political changes in your region, or country? What do these symbols mean to you today? Are they understandable for someone outside of your own culture?
