Join SIFTMedia 215 on October 1st 7pm for a deep dive workshop into effectively covering protests and high-stress situations during times of social unrest. 2020 has been a wakeup call to become more active and more vocal about the change we would like to see. Whether you are a video activist or documentarian, a student, an organizer, or a community journalist, if your call to action takes the form of documentation and videography, then this workshop is for you.

The SIFTMedia 215 DIY Artivist Workshop will empower, inform, and engage filmmakers of all skill levels to pick up their cameras and document our society’s turmoil with confidence, safety, and creativity.

Led by Sabaah Folayan, the producer and director of WHOSE STREETS?, we will take a deep dive into effectively covering protests and high-stress situations during times of social unrest. Folayan will draw upon her experiences to inform attendees of best practices and practical solutions to possible protest production issues. Providing historical context and current concerns to the conversation will be Alile Sharon Larkin, a member of the LA Rebellion, Nadine Patterson (LTA 19, ACG '19 WOO '02) SIFT founder and documentarian, and Nasya Jenkins, an emerging Philadelphian filmmaker.
