The Burntsienna Articulations of Values is a ten (10) week cohort of auto-ethnographic research for owner-operated design studios, fine art practices, conceptual fashion and costume designers, social enterprises and cultural enterprises; to articulate their values, reclaibrate their offerings, and clarify their operations.
Autoethnography is defined as ‘research that involves analyzing personal experences to understand cultural and social values and preferences’.
Each member will explore weekly exercises : Weeks 1 - 5 to excavate and articulate values, Weeks 6 - 8 to recalibrate offerings, and clarify operations; all through collective sharing in real time every session.
Final Presentations will be in an interview format on week 10, as press training and practice articulating in public, with ease.
Post-cohort, the results of this research can be organized and compiled into a ‘Cornerstone Manual’
- a comprehensive reference document for vision/mission clarity, recalibrated services and offerings, SOP’s and comms, operating budgets, org sturctures and more -
useful for more genuine audience engagement, more connective onboarding of personnel and partners, building robust pitch decks for funding and more.
