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.
