NOUSVOUS: HEADEYENHEART summer school

I think this is a pretty perfect example of the type of thing i'd like to create for my COP practical. This is a little workbook which accompanied some workshops over the summer by NOUSVOUS collective. I love how abstract the ideas within the interactive workbook are and it's something I've never seen be done before- I feel like creating something super original can be a lot more engaging. I also love the aesthetics of the book itself, combining some handmade textures and marks with photographs and grids.

I decided it would be a good idea to compose an email to send over to nousvous asking some questions about headeyenheart as there isn't a whole lot of information about it on their website . 

This is a draft of an email i'm going to send over to them:

Hi there ! 

My name is Marnie and I'm currently studying at Leeds Arts University in my third year and working on my extended essay. The topic I have decided to focus on is open ended work and creative expression, and while I was researching my tutor suggested I had a look at the project you worked on over summer; HEADEYENHEART. I absolutely loved what I saw of the little workbooks that were made and this is exactly the type of thing I'd like to base my research on and potentially produce something similar myself.

I was just wondering if I could ask you a couple of questions about the workbooks and the workshops that accompanied them? As this would be super useful to me for my research and essay writing!

The questions I'd like to ask are:

What were the most important aspects for you to include while producing the workbooks/workshops? What did you try and include to engage people?

Did you have a specific target audience in mind (if so, who was it?) or did you try and make it as broad as possible?

Where did you get the inspiration from to produce this? and where did you get the inspiration from while creating it? I love how abstract the ideas are on some of the pages, they feel very contemporary, nothing like anything i've seen before! 

What kind of workshops did you run? & who seemed to engage the most?

Thank you! 

I'm not sure how likely it is they'll reply as i'm sure they get a bunch of emails everyday although i'm keeping hopeful.
