The Centre for Independent Visual Media & Education


The purpose of this centre is to establish links with the fast expanding network of film/video artists, cultural workers, activists, teachers, preservice and graduate students, within and beyond the academy, who use experimental visual forms as a site for political critique, resistance, and change. As there are close connections between critical theory and cultural studies, as well as equity studies more broadly, CIVME attempts to examine these interdisciplinary strands through visual experimental art. Working in collaboration with other groups, CIVME organizes and curates educational events featuring film and video viewing along withpanel discussions.
