Oral/Visual Tradition
(Street Art, Muriel’s, Buskers)
Nepal uses street art in both plays, musical performances, mediation and many more to show both the locals and tourists the history of Nepal. They can highlight any religious beliefs or promote up and coming festivals. The festivals themselves also provide a basis of great celebration involving people getting dressed up and the streets villages are decorated.
England also has many street performers people do contribute artwork (edge lane) and care about sending their message across. I could while in Nepal post some local street performers and any meditation, or even poems, scripts I come across.
I could then ask people to compare and contrast them to their own and see if we can by looking at peoples artistic visions can actually determine what and where people are from. People then could be encouraged to send their own performances in.

This idea could be expanded so that it could be put into categories of determining peoples work, photos, and other things to be that of either age, gender, religion ect. Then have discussions to why and how the audiences are drawn to particular conclusions.
