The Allied Media Conference is a four-day long grassroots media training
seminar, in which professionals and enthusiasts school each other on
everything from graphic design and blogging to performance arts and
social justice issues. This year's national conference picked Detroit as
Ground Zero for the group's guerrilla education training. It all kicks
off June 23 at the McGregor Memorial Hall at Wayne State.
Registration is still open and is on a sliding income scale ($100 is the suggested amount for the four-day conference).
Excerpt:
At the AMC, media creation is not only about personal expression, but
about transformation – of ourselves and the structures of power around
us. We create media that exposes, investigates, resists, heals, builds
confidence and radical hope, incites dialogue and debate.
We demystify technology, not only learning how to use it, but how to take it apart, fix it and build our own. We do it ourselves and as communities, connecting across geographic and generational boundaries.
