AHA MEDIA is very proud to welcome the VISION DIVISION VJ residency of New Forms Festival ( NFF)  hosted at W2 Community Media Arts ( W2) ! 🙂

AHA MEDIA and its founding members , first met at Vision Division 2008 ( last year) which prompted our journey into new media, social media and community generated media making!

AHA MEDIA members came from the Fearless City Mobile project and continue to be proud to be camera operators and content producers for Fearless and W2.

Below is a photo of  the founding members of  AHA MEDIA having fun!

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.
