Digital storytelling meets DIY cooking as we learn and document how to use a pressure cooker to cook dry beans from scratch and on a budget.  While the beans cook, create media, share, connect!  With food artist and multimedia storyteller Ellie Markovitch.

Documentary filmmaker Louis Massiah, along with the Be the Media! artist/educators, have designed this workshop for community groups serious about creating something! 

Representatives of community groups (youth, adult, elders) bring something -- an object, a poem, photo, music, home movie -- that shows what you're about.

During the workshop, we will create a plan for a short video which shines light on your powers. Historians, media makers and musicians interested in helping to facilitate these projects are welcome!

Pre-resigistraion is required; scholarships are available. To register for yourself and your group, email:info@mediasanctuary.org, or call 518-272-2390 for more information.
