This work is a collaboration between artist Norbert Francis Attard and the Karekemata Community. The main aim is to explore how value is socially constructed through the community’s selection of objects that are important to them as individuals. I have engaged members of the local community to select items which I will then creatively display in a public space ( at Kajimaya: name of former shoe shop). I would like my displays to raise public awareness about how objects acquire significance in the minds of individuals, and in their intimate social and imaginative networks. There is an important educational aspect to this. Through the cataloguing of these items and their publication, I should like to produce a sort of archaeology of the present, so that future generations could look back and see how value was constructed, and thus obtain insights into the emotional worlds of their forefathers. All individuals have items that are important and precious to them. However, their value is not necessarily reflected in their monetary value; indeed in some cases these items may be “valueless” socially, but extremely potent and valuable to the people concerned. And their value in the minds of individuals is a product of the links or associations that these objects have with other individuals, with the past, with their experiences, and perhaps other factors as well. My aim is therefore to produce a type of inventory of emotional intimacy through objects.
