Make Media, Make Trouble

Workshop Description:

In this 2-hour participatory workshop, we will first collectively examine some movement media (that is, media created from inside social movements for the explicit purpose of furthering radical change) from various local--global struggles crossing race, age, class and gender identities.  Then, we'll do some mediamaking of our own.  Bring your creative mind, political passions and willingness to interact.  (And, if you want, a pencil, crayons, videocamera... whatever tools might come in handy!)

Participants will leave with tricks, tactics and inspiration for 1) making media for radical social change, and 2) taking action to make another wor(l)d possible.

Printed resources will also be available for participants to take home.

Register for this workshop via EXCO and a confirmation email/phone call will be made at least one week before the date.
