All the boys named Alam have gone missing and the guest is being blamed of being a accomplice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
not so long ago I had a student named Alam, a very naughty 11 year old boy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyday it was the most difficult to get his attention, but in a few weeks he was the one to ask me to stay longer and teach more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One day the India- government decided to amend their national Citizen Register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That day and today, I never saw any Alam again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turn the Crank to find missing Alam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experience Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Guests will enter the space with a mysterious curiosity. (To find missing Alam)<\/li>
- Guests will be stunned and reminded of the inhuman treatment of the immigrants and undocumented citizens. (the rejection system)(stunned by the sound the gavel makes)<\/li>
- Guests will realize their involuntary participation in this hateful act. (by choosing the incorrect leader\/not bothering about the community, hand crank\/button)<\/li>
- Guests will think about the condition of the humans sent to noman lands or detention centers. (Cluster of people trapped in the wooden box representing an open wagon\/detention center)<\/li>
- Guests will learn about how many people have been displaced because of this act. (LED board with a progressive count on the wooden box)<\/li>
- Guests will immediately feel regret\/shame for participating in the act (hands around the table start protesting \u2013 slogans in bg)\u00a0<\/li>
- Guests will learn about the Indian Citizenship Amendment Act and its impact on the people. (information in posters and half sheets)
<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nEmotional Arc <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing <\/strong>(What do guests see)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Guests will view the poster which says do you have an alibi?<\/li>
- Guests enter the exhibit and see text – Are you innocent? Turn the crank! (where is this text?)<\/li>
- Guests will turn the crank and the lights on conveyor belt will light up and it starts to move.<\/li>
