[Imc-neworleans] Allied Media Conference 2006 in Bowling Green, Ohio

Allied Media Conference 2006

How can alternative media go beyond merely "speaking
truth" and actually change the material conditions of
our world? How do we construct popular media projects
that effectively build grassroots power and advance
social justice?

The Allied Media Conference 2006 will bring together
some of the most innovative and visionary culture
producers, media workers, artists and activists to
probe these and other critical questions. Together, we
will share skills and ideas and build new networks for
action and support. With our tremendous collective
skill, ingenuity, and vision, we can use media to
build new forms of popular power for the 21st century.

Each year in June, hundreds of media-makers,
educators, and grassroots activists come together in
Bowling Green, OH, to share successes from the past
year and build collaborative solutions for the future.
Now in its 8th year, the Allied Media Conference has
become an indispensable tool for an under-resourced
community.

The conference features hands-on workshops, group
discussions, film screenings, artist presentations, a
large exhibition hall to share your work, and the
Symposium on Media Literacy, a whole day for educators
and young people to learn how to use independent media
in the classroom. Set in a small, midwest town, it's
also a space to strengthen our community, meet new
people, and enjoy each other's company.
