SIGHTS 2

Participatory Video Workshop

by Devisri Nambiar and Matteo Calore

What can actually determine the growth of democracy and justice in the global society is not the technical ability of new medias of reaching each and every corner of the world, but the spread of skills and possibilities of using the communicative resources offered by the new medias: from a global passive audience to a plural society of conscious narrators.

“Sights2” is a workshop for young people of second generation, or rather of the new generations of Italians (“generations2” suggests new potentials) that, through the techniques of participatory video, build a self-narration on topics of cultural identity and diversity.

The first part of the project consists in meetings, practical activities and experiments of creative writing during which the youths will learn different techniques and poetics of narrating through images. Then they will be accompanied in the production of a short audio-visual product, entirely written and directed by them.

Through the local distribution of the video, new spaces of dialogue with other young people will open, during which this experience will be shared in the hope of building a network that works on these topics.

A.N.C.E. NGO organises playing through theatre, photography and graffiti workshops for second generation immigrants aged between16-25 years. As a result of these workshops, participants will have the chance to take part in a theatrical improvisation play and an exhibition that will be organized in the framework of the international festival “2nd Generation Immigrants: European Citizens without rights” that will take place in Athens in the fall 2009.

ANCE aims to start an intercultural dialogue emerging from participants’ personal experiences and to create communication channels using art as a tool for expression. Workshops will take place weekly, starting from 3rd of September 2009 at 19:00, at the premises of ANCE NGO (15a Miaouli Str., Psiri (Monastiraki metro station). Participation is free of charge.
