MIM continues Temporary Media Zone https://messagesinmotion.com/2013/08/messages-in-motion-continues-temporary-media-zone/ Mon, 26 Aug 2013 00:00:57 +0000 https://messagesinmotion.com/?p=1692 During the month of August, Messages in Motion has been visiting the vacant lot at the corner of N. 6th and Oxford. Each session has used different approaches to engage the neighborhood in creating short video postcards about their interests, their community and their neighborhood. Videos have ranged from short vocal and dance performances, walks around the block, and short interviews with residents.  A series of 4×6 postcards have also been produced based on drawings from the kids and photos they have taken.  This project has been supported by a grant by the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority, as part of their Percent for Art program.

MIM to activate a Temporary Media Zone at N. 6th and Oxford in AUGUST https://messagesinmotion.com/2013/06/mim-to-activate-a-temporary-media-zone-at-n-6th-and-oxford-in-august/ Sun, 16 Jun 2013 22:35:36 +0000 https://messagesinmotion.com/?p=1686

With a grant from the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority, Messages in Motion will be working at the vacant lot, located at N. 6th and Oxford streets, to activate a ‘Temporary Media Zone,”  for the production and distribution of short video messages and hyperlocal media by neighborhood residents.

During the duration of the Temporary Media Zone, I will create both structured workshops and open ‘studio’ time.  The workshops will invite residents to learn a variety of filmmaking techniques, audio recording techniques, and online tools for documenting personal and neighborhood stories. ‘Open Studio’ time would function as a pop up community media center, where people could record and upload stories, contribute to the project blog, borrow a camera to take photos or conduct interviews.

In the evenings, there will be movie screenings of both the videos produced by residents alongside a selection of independent and popular films.

OPENING DAY will take place on SATURDAY AUGUST 3rd 2013.

On Saturday Nov 3rd I facilitated a workshop with organizers from Decarcerate PA, including 3 members of YASP (Youth Arts Self Empowerment Project), a coalition organization which campaigns to overturn Act 33, which tries juveniles as adults in PA. Decarcerate PA is a grassroots campaign working to end mass incarceration in Pennsylvania. This is a small sampling of the work produced, and just the start to more creative campaign videos.

I invited people in to the van to record a message to some in the future. I recorded 15 messages that are being sent out over the next 6 months. Some of the messages were public, others were sent privately. Here is a rave review from a group of neighborhood kids who had a blast!
