Historical, Social, Technological, Cultural and Political

These are the words we came up with relating to the themes during the task in the studio.

From this I am starting to get a few ideas, mostly around cultural and social themes. Politics and history are probably my two weakest areas and technological is something I want to avoid a bit because this is what my context of practice module was based on in level 4 and I want to research something new and different this year.
