Voice Off: Artist Talk and Workshops with artist Sarah DeCarlo
Starts: Friday July 17th, 2009 at 7 pm
Where: Katarokwi Native Friendship Centre (50 Hickson Ave. Kingston, ON)
This summer, Modern Fuel, in partnership with the Katarokwi Native Friendship Centre, is organizing Voice Off a multi-media based project that brings artists Sarah DeCarlo and Bear Thomas to work with youth ages 12-25 at the Katarokwi Native Friendship Centre through video workshops. The partnership between Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre and the Katarokwi Native Friendship Centre is a new community outreach initiative made by Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre to build new relationships between the Kingston arts community and the community served by the Katarokwi Native Friendship Centre.
Sarah DeCarlo will kick off the project by giving an artist talk and performance on the evening of Friday July 17th at 7pm and then going on to lead a weekend workshop on Saturday and Sunday. Bear Thomas will then be presenting an artist talk and video workshop the weekend of 21 August. The project will culminate in a screening of the finished works at a public venue in Kingston in September.
The goal of the project is to create an opportunity for the youth at the Katarokwi Native Friendship Centre to gain media skills and to facilitate an opportunity to explore, create and share personal and community experiences and stories through new media and video technologies.
