Troubles Taxi


2024


A UWE (University of the West of England) project; conduct an interview with a worker of a certain profession (from a list provided), finding out everything about their work and the impacts of the job, then produce a 16pg A5 publication. 


My grandfather who worked as a taxi driver for 20 years was the focus of this project; looking into his time as a taxi driver when it was a dangerous profession, especially the random killings within Northern Ireland. The style was influenced by several publications that formed several mood boards: focusing on taxis, the Troubles and autobiographical publications. Aimed at my grandfather and readers of my / a younger generation who aren’t as familiar with the Troubles as older generations. The Outcome was 1 16pg, A5 publication – this project helped me think about sensitivity in projects as well as interactivity.
