My first research interviews, Peckham 31/03/2012
After three attempts I realised something, that if I wanted more than 'sound bites' I was going about things the wrong way. There is no way that some random stranger I approach on the streets will trust me enough or feel open enough to really think through the questions and answer honestly and deeply. So for now I'm abandoning this approach. Instead I will seek out people I know and ask the same questions but lengthen the discussion more.
For interests sake, here's my answers to the soundbite approach...
What does freedom mean to you?
The ability to be exactly who you are without shame, fear, persecution or abuse.
Do you feel free?
Not always, no.
When have you felt most free?
When I'm in the heart of a collective struggle - in the student demonstrations when we took over the streets of London, when I'm confronting abuse or injustice or standing up for myself and others.
