work day 23/09/24
The first day of work was slightly nerve-racking. A completely new country, a completely new language and a time where I’ll be applying my theory into practice. My team at the office was very welcoming and I was assigned tasks to ease me into how the Château works in operates. I was able to read all the applications of the Mirabello family Artist residency and write down notes on what they’re interested in how I could bond with them when they arrive the beginning of October. I was able to apply my research skills to form detailed files on each Artist simultaneously to that I also use my graphic design skills to make room and studio posters for the artists and where they would be staying around the Château. For me this was a very relevant experience since it allowed me to discover and navigate myself around each space of the Château. My French level is quite basic so understanding conversations between the cohort was a little challenging but I always had a transcribe translator to add me in conversation and I actively tried speaking French.
