Shifting Forms is a FREE three day symposium foregrounding the perspectives of Indigenous storytellers working in Animation, Interactive and Media-based art forms.
Hosted by Spotted Fawn Productions and Basically Good Media Lab, the gathering will bring together an exciting lineup of digital knowledge keepers to share viewpoints via a screening of animations, panel discussions, matriarch speakers, art and VR installations, workshops, live performances and a VR Jam.
Participating storytellers will share their process, successes and progression within digital platforms, identify and explore digital literacy issues, and present perspectives for our future generations of storytellers. This is an opportunity for collective learning for storytellers and knowledge holders and audience regarding accountability, rightful representation, and non-exploitation.
The symposium will be taking place at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver the weekend of April 11-13. All events, talks, workshops are free with registration (until capacity is full). Please register for a day pass each day you hope to attend talks and panels! Workshops, Performance Events and VR activities require separate registration.
