We will create a world passport. This is to symbolize open borders. It is a symbolic piece of work to represent how people no longer need to use identifications to travel and everyone is a citizen of the Earth. Potentially, we might need passports to travel through space to other planets, but at least on Earth, we would have open borders.
Cover – Passport cover with 3D felted globe. Under the globe, there will be text “Global Citizen”
Page 1 – Photo identification page. For the photo, we will use a mirror/reflective fabric. This symbolizes that you are a global citizen, no matter who looks into the mirror.
Page 2 – Quote from a leader. Potentially Obama – “We are defined not by our borders, but by our bonds.” (This will be screen printed)
Page 3 – Collage of different languages saying, “Unite”
Page 4 – 10 Passport stamps. Each page will use a different technique. (Felting, screen printing, embroidery, and patchwork)
Materials needed:
- Wool for felting
- Canvas cloth for main body of passport
- Mirror/really reflective cloth
- Threads/needles/sewing machine/iron for patchwork and putting together the passport
- Screen printing materials (contact paper, cricut etc.)
- Yarn
- Scrap fabric for decoration
