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.
