Background:
Flour sacks matter in our everyday existence, used in the transport of needed edibles. This research thoroughly considers their cultural as well as economic roles, clearly inspired by Ibrahim Mahama’s art with jute sacks. Looking into flour sacks lets us discover how important they are to our neighborhoods and how they affected people.
Thesis Argument:
This paper put forward that flour sacks are not simply containers, but they also contain multiple important narratives concerning labor, society, and fellowship. They mirror problems for food security. They also reflect upon globalization. Through art, we are able to explore through multiple of these themes and share out important messages to others.
Objectives:
1. To learn about the cultural and economic value of flour sacks in local areas.
2. To examine into the history of how flour sacks have been used and produced.
3. To look into some of the communal narratives linked to flour sacks, notably concerning work and relocation.
4. To promote more knowledge of ecological problems associated with containers.
Justification for Objectives:
Learning of diverse flour sacks supports our valuing of local culture and economy. Considering these topics through artistic expression can assist us in promoting discussions on long-term ecological health as well as community bonds. This research targets to connect art with important social issues.
Research Questions :
1. What stories do flour bags tell in neighboring communities?
2. How have the normal applications of flour bags slowly evolved over the years?
3.. In what ways could creations made of flour sacks encourage public involvement?
4. What several ecological concerns come along with using flour sacks? What many ecological concerns come along with disposing of them?
Delimitation:
This analysis will observe a number of flour bags employed in a specific region, paying attention to their individual native importance. It will examine neither the world’s flour business nor packing for different edibles.
Methodology:
The research will use with multiple different methods, including:
– Interviews: Speaking with many local farmers and bakers for hearing of their many stories.
– Art Projects: Cleverly creating artwork from flour sacks for meaningfully engaging with the community.
– Literature Review: Studying current research regarding flour sacks, along with what they represent.
Facilities Available:
The study will use community buildings while events occur, art locations during piece creation, and libraries for investigation. Teaming up alongside artists and groups within the community will help connect with a larger audience.
