ON COMMON GROUND
National Media Arts Conference and Festival
June 10 – 15, 2008
Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada
The Alternator Gallery for Contemporary Art is pleased to announce a major cultural gathering to celebrate Indigenous film, video and new media art by international, national and local artists from June 10 to June 15, 2008.
On Common Ground is the national media arts conference and festival of the Independent Media Arts Alliance, a non-profit organization that serves some 12,000 independent artists and cultural workers across Canada.
An inclusive celebration supported by local Indigenous communities, On Common Ground will welcome hundreds of groundbreaking artists for screenings, exhibitions, performances, keynote speeches, panel discussions and an exciting array of other cross-cultural exchanges.
The six-day festival – organized in partnership with the Ullus Collective, an indigenous media arts group based in Penticton, BC, the National Indigenous Media Arts Coalition, and UBC Okanagan – is the largest media arts event ever held in the British Columbia Interior.
Indigenous filmmakers will showcase stories about social issues, political histories and cultural traditions as a way to foster understanding between artists and audiences from all communities, says organizer Tracey Jack, a member of the Syilx (Okanagan) Nation and chair of the Ullus Collective.
