Posted July 17, 2009 by jmacphee in Events
This just in from fellow-traveler Andalusia:
In less than 10 hours me and a bunch of participatory radio enthusiasts are packing into a van and driving to Detroit for the 11th Annual Media Conference. If you haven't heard of the AMC before it's this amazing dynamic conference where participants have evolved the definition of media, and the role it can play in our lives – from zines to video-blogging to breakdancing, to communicating solidarity and creating justice. Each conference builds off the previous one and plants the seeds for the next. Ideas and relationships evolve year-round, incorporating new networks of media-makers and social justice organizers. This year's AMC will draw strength from our converging movements to face the challenges and opportunities of our current social justice moment.
We Are Ready Now! Radio will be hosting a live broadcast throughout this weekend including the amazing opening and closing plenaries as well as part of the "The Zapatista's Other Campaign Breaking Down Borders: Live Cross-Border Press Conference with Mexico" Tune in to the webstream right here.
Additionally, throughout the weekend The Prometheus Radio Project along with People's Production House will be hosting a live radio broadcast featuring the voices, beats, and stories of Detroit Summer, Elementz, Project South, Palestine Education Project, Bump, Community News Production Institute, Radio Rootz, Philadelphia Student Union, The Media Mobilizing Project, Making Contact, Free Speech Radio News, Various LPFM stations and more. The station will also air all of the pieces produced by participants in the AMC-FM workshop. The radio schedule will be available here.
