The shy entrepreneur: observations from the 2nd Annual Micro-enterprise bazaa...Street Ecology
The document summarizes observations from a micro-enterprise bazaar in Jerusalem featuring handicrafts produced by Palestinian women. It describes the historical origins of Palestinian handicraft industries and the types of items produced, including pottery, soap, baskets, and textiles.

This document summarizes a project called "My City and Me" carried out by the Hakka Community group. The goals of the project were to learn and share Hakka culture. As part of the project, the group held video conferences with students in Russia and Pakistan to learn about their cities and cultures. They also researched and presented on different aspects of Hakka culture such as traditional housing called Hakka Tulou, fabrics, foods including intestines with shredded ginger, tea, umbrellas and clothing. The group faced difficulties with translation, scheduling video conferences, and researching the history. They provided suggestions such as finding more information online and scheduling meetings with teachers to help with future projects.

Questioning the Collection
I have chosen to focus on a set of spoons from the Korean Goryeo Dynasty because I thought that the objects had an
interesting relationship between function and aesthetic. There is an argument to say that these spoons have been
designed for capital, they are simply a symbol of status and wealth. However I feel this is a very cynical approach to
take and they are a lovely example of what design is at its core. When I look at the spoons I feel joy, I want to hold
them, to test their weight. I want to use them and have the sensory experience of eating with them. I found myself
imagining the hands of the person who made them, the tools and processes they used to shape the metal.
I was drawn to the spoons because they give value
to an object we see and use everyday. My
understanding of a spoon today is tied up with
mundanity and familiarity. We are used to using
spoons which have been mass-produced and are
often disposable.
If we unpack the objects being displayed we see the
huge amount of care that has gone into their
creation. They have all been hand formed, giving
them a lovely tactility- I found myself wanting to feel
the smoothness of the bowl and the curve of the
handle. Each spoon is unique, they have been
designed to work coherently as a set but each has
its own individuality. Another layer to this care they
have been given is the fact that they have been
preserved so well for over a thousand years.
They have little signs of wear and still look like they could be used today, perhaps this suggests that these objects
were an integral part of society at that time- that they were seen as highly valuable and people thought they would be
valuable for years to come.
The information card says that “Spoons were often placed in burials...” supporting my theory of design over capital,
rather than design as capital. Although we know that the spoons had a lot of monetary value, and this is a reason
why they were found in burials, we also understand that they were important for other reasons. They were
considered special and important enough to be buried, implying that people who used them found they had a
spiritual or magical quality.
They may have been buried with the wealthy as a status symbol or they may have been considered necessary for
the afterlife.
Either way I think it is quite unusual today to find an object which is used everyday and is given this level of value. We
may have things like jewellery which we wear everyday, and are valuable, but an object with function and value is rare. I
think our modern equivalent may be mobile phones. We use them everyday, they are valuable in terms of monetary
value and usefulness, and have been designed to appeal aesthetically. Maybe in years to come archaeologists will find
mobiles buried with us in graves.
