Media Activism Workshop with The Revolutionary Party

This workshop focused on “the media” and teens; how it affects them, how it works, and how they can participate. Over the duration of five classes and one saturday afternoon presentation, 17 teens discussed the methodologies of media on both a cultural and technical level. The workshop was a quickie how-to for teens, a group typically left without a voice into the media stream, can challenge assumptions about themselves and others.

A complete overview of the workshop can be found at therevolutionaryparty.org.

Videos, patches, and further documentation of this project will be posted soon.
