Venue: What's the deal with the W.I.S.E. Hall? Is that a viable option? Also how about the Van public library... out of the question? W2? Just kidding... ;) Party: Nic if you want I can deal with the folks at VIVO since Dinka and I are old friends, the woman who books the space. I was thinking of curating a film program of bite sized radical films, (5 minutes or less) followed by a live multi-media performance by Jackson2Bears (fuckin rad!) http://jackson2bears.net/ then Test their Logik and then a hip-hop DJ. Bringing People in: I'm inviting the folks from 12th and Clark and hopefully they have the time. Aside from the VMC, they've cranked out more radical media in this town than anybody else. Nick, what's your address so I can pass it along? See y'all on Saturday. f -- Franklin L?pez Director/Producer subMedia http://endciv.com http://submedia.tv Twitter http://twitter.com/stimulator Mobile - 778-385-2441 US Mobile - 773-986-6869 On 11-05-31 12:59 AM, dawn paley wrote: > Hi Folks > > So I went by maritime labour centre today to book and... turns out the > rate for saturday is $800 just for the day (9-5) and an additional > $500 for the evening, bringing it to $1300 plus HST for the saturday. > That, and no outside food is allowed. > > I didn't book it, and I guess we will have to reassess this on > Saturday. sorry for the confusion. > > Dawn > > On 30-May-11, at 9:33 PM, isaac oommen wrote: > >> /In attendence: Isaac, Nicholas, Harjap, Juniper, Dawn, Frank via >> phone for the first 15 mins of the meeting (had connection trouble)/ >> >> >> Frank: I can bottom-line a film screening and party the night before >> the conference.

The Future of Media? panel was announced Monday, the more progressive minds on Twitter let out a collective groan. The annual panel attracts the most elite of media elites?the likes of Nick Denton and Arianna Huffington?and this year there wasn?t a single woman or person of color represented. ?The future of media: all white, all male, apparently,? tweeted Irin Carmon, a writer at Jezebel. *Why White Men Should Refuse to Be on Panels of All White Men - Media - GOOD * www.good.is White media types are always complaining about a lack of diversity on panels and in articles. Why don't they boycott them? - - Naava Smolash it's an important point to make and a good article, but it would be better if it gave some of the deep structural reasons *why* white men are usually thought of first instead of women and people of colour who obviously are working on similar issues and doing good work, yet who are not thought of as quickly as authorities. it would be useful if the piece addressed why, when an event is structured as a white boy perspective sort of event and designed and controlled with the interests of white guys first and foremost, the 'reaching out' - without structural change - to women and so called 'minorities' simply doesn't work, because it's inviting them into a space where they will be minoritized, and who wants that? The article seems to suggest that adding token nonwhite people or token women without changing the underlying assumptions of the events will make it all better, and that's simply not addressing the core of the matter.

Names (included discussion about intended audience and goals) 5. workshops/speakers/keynotes/panellists* * 1. Recap* Dawn: *brief recap of last meeting* and goals (see previous minutes) *bookfair style gathering* for september ~17-18, incl: evening film screening/party full day of bookfair/8 workshops/evening keynote final morning brunch/social discussion *broad definition of media* (posters to poems to ind. news to graffiti etc. i.e. approach similar to Allied Media Conference) * basis of unity:* anticapitalist, anticolonial, antiauthoritarian, emphasis on creating space for/about radical media (by whatever name). *funding:* agreement established last meeting - no money contrary to these values, and no money with strings: no foundations, ngo or academic strings-attached funding, etc. *2. Space* Followup from last meeting: *Maritime Labour Centre* is 1300, which is 500 more than anticipated - do we still want it? it has good space for breakaway sessions and is big enough and physically accessible; food would need to be catered. Possibility of switching to Sunday for the full day, which isn't people's first choice (might lead to lower attendance cuz people sticking around from the anarchist bookfair a week earlier might need to travel sunday, and cuz sundays are generally quieter), would impact the brunch plan the next morning. Undecided. Exploring other options, will decide next meeting. Desire to have location, name, dates finalized in time for fliering at the AMC in third week of June. Brainstorm of space options: Vivo - small Ukranian Hall Harbour Centre (not ideal space - less socially comfortable space, and no food allowed served inside, but physically accessible and could be free) Britannia or a high school outdoors (potentially shitty weather/complicated) Kwantlen in Surrey or SFU Surrey VCC RayCam Needed: large room for keynotes and bookfair, rooms for breakaway workshops and childcare space (i.e. three small one large space or some combo). cost, accessibility, food *TASK: *Leon will look into Kwantlen *TASK:* Naava will look into Britannia *TASK:* Nicholas will look into the other spaces on the list *3. Money:* Dawn shared draft budget (see separate email from Dawn) possible support sources: VMC - 2000 committed TSSU & SJC SFPIRG VIPIRG PGPIRG Media Coop CUPE 15 Council of Canadians *Goal:* raise cost of conference beforehand from donations, make everything no one turned away/sliding scale, be clear that those with incomes need to use upper end of scale all funds raised at door go towards next year. discussion: options such as keynote speaker cash cow event (charge 10-20 bucks for large evening event to raise $ for rest of PWYC events,have some free tix). Preference for all PWYC. *4. Names: * brainstorm (some silly, some potential) Probable Cause: first annual westcoast movement media conference MMD (lol) Radical Media Conference Co-conspiracy conference Allied West Coast High Treason Communique Manifesto Meme Solidarity Movement A weekend of radical and experimental media Pirate Signal Media Anarchy Day Overthrow Media Conference Submedia Conference ;P Bottom Up Media Bottom Up Media Power (BUMP ;P) Insergent disruption Slingshot territories iconoclast *rebel media (got some likes)* *Ignite: Media (got some likes)* Collude graffiti communities grassroots Graffiti: gathering revolutionaries and freedom in total insurrection swarm horde *Discussion: pros and cons of putting words like 'radical' into name itself*(as opposed to in workshop or event descriptions, and/or into subtitle) *discussion about intended audience*, who we want to attract General sense that goal is to *create space for support of creation and discussion of radical media* of many kinds, while being welcoming to people who may not already be involved in radical media organizing/activism but who may have the potential to be or share the impulse, whether or not they are already familiar/comfortable with the language. *discussion.* about internal/multiple *pros and cons of terms* like radical and anarchist etc. *General agreement* that we're not trying to draw on a reformist crowd or cowtow to those limitations; we are also not seeking *only *to address those who already consider themselves 'radical' - it's not only for those who are already active but is also for reaching/radicalizing new folks in multiple ways. (i.e. there are problems with *not *using the language because we want to be clear that this is what the event is for, not get shut down by reformist expectations; yet also choice of words is not just a question about alienating liberals - may also have good/internally meaningful reasons why people who do identify with and work using principles of radical and/or anarchist organizing use other terms, such as movement building, community based, etc.) desire to be clear and up front about what this event is about so as to make space for genuine and direct challenging of the status quo, while also meeting the desire to bring in people who are potentially wanting deep systemic change/overthrow/transformation but who may be new to organizing or not already familiar with terminology. *Discussion about broadening what we understand as activism/organizing*, and recognizing where the edges are: welcoming to people who make media/art/etc. while articulating how making art/media/etc. is *part of* (movement building/rebel/activist/organizing/anarchist/insurrectionary etc.) work, not 'on top' of or just describing it. i.e. emphasis on art, media, etc. that understands itself as part of social movement - this can work in many ways, including organizing that isn't just about demos but still understands itself as organizing/support/mutuality/solidarity - etc. Can take many forms including creating independent news infrastructure, childcare, food, art, poetry, graffiti, building relationships, etc. but is not just 'about' or 'describing' organizing without being part of it. Distinction between academics that *write about* social movements but identify primarily with academic production, vs. those (ex: andrea smith, INCITE!) that are directly involved and in relationship with radical organizing etc.; similar discussion about artistic production. *TASK: *all continue thinking about titles, brainstorm over this week, will pick next meeting *5. outreach/keynotes/workshops/speakers* Agreement: emphasis on people making media (widely understood), not on academics or 'experts' West Coast focus (how far south?) keynote brainstorm: Incite! women of colour against violence - Andrea Smith - critique of NGO industrial complex Leroy (sp?) poet & media maker Favianna Rodriguez * workshops:* intention to put out a call for proposals for workshops/panels only 8 workshop spots so will need to choose *workshops and speakers free brainstorm:* pirate radio - olympia and la - treefrog phone hacking stencilling computer security zine and bookmaking graffiti Indigenous workshop(s): i.e. offer riel, dorothy christian, dustin rivers, or other allies space/sessions to organize as they want, consider 'indigenizing' the event structural analysis of radical storytelling - i.e. encounters with cops anarchists/sm and media google alternatives/research capitalism within anticapitalism Moxi - on securitizing yr phone etc. Joe Bowser VHS Vancouver Hackspace Someone from Santiago (chile) *TASK:* all think about more *keynotes *to bring ideas to next meeting *Next Meeting: next Sunday June 12, 11 am at Isaac's * 3.

Isaac, Harjap, Lauriel, MaryAnn, Erin PLACE Har: The cafetaria at Britannia cannot be set up as needed. MA: And it's long and narrow. Har: Croatian Cultural Centre has neo-Nazi parties. So we have Ukranian Hall, Russian Hall. Laur: We weren't sure the Ukranian hall was completely accessible. Isaac: Nic said Ukrainian Hall 500+400+250, or Harbour Centre for free, WISE hall for $50/hr for the day not available at night. Harjap: VCC would have a harder time giving us the space. MA: There can't be food at Harbour Centre. Laur: Same at Martitime Labour Centre. Har: SFU is shitty but it might be the choice. Bonsor could be good as well - $1200 or so. Laur: Harbour Centre has the same advantages of centrality. Isaac: The alternatives are WISE hall but nothing at night. Laur: But maybe have night events elsewhere? Isaac: Too complicated to have multiple venues? Laur: Not really. Har: We could use all of the big hall for tabling. Isaac: And have youth workshops so no childcare needed which HC is not good with. And have classrooms for breakout rooms. Har: Rooms that work are Seagall Centre, the one next to Fletcher Challenger (1700?) and the actual theatre. Laur: We need more than 25 capacity for at least one workshop room. Isa: So maybe get two lecture rooms and two classrooms? And we can ask Dawn and Frank to object to HC if needed by 16th? *CONSENSED: We book HC, unless there are any objections. Send any alternative suggestions to the list by the 16th.* Har: I'll look into Bonsor just for costs. We can cancel HC anyway so let's book. *ACTIOn: Isaac to ask Nick to book SFU HC. * NAME All: Liking a weekend of experimental media [sic] as subtitle (check the last notes for the full subtitle). Har: Something short can be attached as the title then. Leon: Unmedia, Unmediate. Har: Having the area in there is good. Isaac: But this can go into the subtitle. Har: Fault lines? (people liked this one) Laur: Send it to the whole collective. Har: Don't forget Radical Media Conf as well. We can decide later on how short the title-subtitle is. *CONSENSED: People can choose from the three above titles and the ones we've brainstormed by the 16th over the list. * KEYNOTE SPEAKER Leo: Riel and Lynn on a panel. Har: And Billie Blair. Leo: Dream speaker is someone from Santiago radical scene e.g. IMC there. Har: Hoping some people from west coast will fund their way here. I don't know if they would be the draw. A good panel might be an alternative. Amy Goodman and Chompsky. We could even Skype people in. Isa: As'ad Abu Khalil or Arundati Roy for skypeing in. Laur: Actual media makers would be even better. Har: Maybe we could sub one keynote speaker for a nice panel. Laur: Shaka from Oakland who does Black August would be great. He works with NYM and was in prison. Har: We could also look at the AMC and see if any name pops out. Leo: Puget Sound anarchists. Erin: INCITE Women of Colour would be good. Laur: Would be nice to bring a critique of activism into things. Har: Have critique of media projects that pretend to be progressive. We don't have a key speaker but lots of panel ideas. WORKSHOPS Laur: Nick talked about fracking etc. the broad definition of media. Leo: Maybe we can have the workshops one after another? Laur: We have lots of ideas for these already. Leo: Workshops become overwhelming at a lot of conferences. Har: So Sunday can be an informal space for discussion of what people heard. Leo: Space for mingling is good. Laur: I'd like more than 8 workshops. Har: Then I'm leaning towards booking Harbour Centre. Let's start contacting people informally about who can come up for this. Think of people in small-town BC: Neskolith Radio, Tree Frog Radio, Black Ink, Just Seeds, stencilers and street media. A workshop on informal knowledge e.g. ancestral storytelling would be great. Laur: I also would like a workshop on development of criminal forms of knowledge. Leo: Roger Farr wrote about this. Har: Also a panel on movement internal communication and inter-communication would be great. Leo: Think of the Wobblies, George Jackson Brigade. Har: Gaderites, Chinese community that organized againt head tax and race riots. Leo: Oral tradition of communication would be good to see explored. Har: Language as well. Leo: Dustin Rivers is great for that. Dustin Johnson also. * CONSENSED: Erin, Leon, Lauriel added to the listserv.* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am burnt out from touring and taking most of the summer off, which leaves me with very little time to organize my overseas anti-civ propaganda excursion. With that said I can help with postering etc. I will be tabling at the Victoria and Seattle bookfairs so I can do promo at those as well.
