We’re in our 16th year (!) of bringing together our community of media makers, activists, and educators to discuss the relationship between media and democracy.

On November 15th and 16th in the Vancouver Public Library’s Inspiration Lab, and November 19th at SFU Harbour Centre, join us for talks, hands on workshops, and collaboratively determined events. All free and open to the public. Hosted on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.

Program Features:

Ryan McMahon – Digital Media, Bush Tea & Dibaajimowinan: How Story Shapes The Future Of Indigenous Communities –
Keynote from the host of the Red Man Laughing podcast and first Indigenous comedian to have full hour special on the CBC. Ryan’s work continually pushes boundaries with his sharp observations on the “collision between Indian Country and the mainstream.”
