W2 Community Media Arts (W2) is working with New Forms Festival (NFF) to deliver this program which advances marginalized youth media artists in Vancouver with tools and strategies. Having NFF work with W2 means we can both bring our strengths and resources to the same table and do something twice as impacting.
Mia Makela has just arrived in Vancouver for the week in residence. While the workshop – like last year’s Vision Division – prioritises our W2 DTES community, all NFF fans can check out some of the results and hear from Mia first-hand on Saturday night.
