Social change advocates are savvy about the power of media, often partnering with film and media artists to advance their missions. This climate offers new opportunities, but artists may find themselves in the political hot seat without adequate preparation and advocates can lose control of their message.
In this workshop, panelists will explore a range of issues including who controls story and message and how to establish clear roles.
Then, a facilitated discussion will bring attendees together to share stories about managing the relationship between the artist, subjects, and the NGOs, non-profits, or citizen groups.
Finally, attendees will form small groups to create a crowd-sourced guide of ‘best practices’ for managing the practicalities and ethics of these partnerships.
