Allied Media Conference Invite:

Hi all,

The 2004 Allied Media Conference will take place this June 18-20th.
Folks should definitely check it out.  I will be going and it would be
great to have other folks from Chambana come.  I've been talking with the
conference organizers and they're interested in having a wireless session.
If folks are interested let me know and I'll set this up.

Hello everyone!

This is certainly a crucial time for independent media around the world,
and we're getting more excited about the this year's Allied Media
Conference as we continue to put all the pieces together. Check out some
of the latest news below — including a request for your help in spreading
the word about the AMC:

[1] ILLEGAL ART AT THE AMC: Kicking off the conference will be a 90-minute
presentation by Mark Hosler, founding member of Negativland. The film and

Media Resistance and Negativland" will start at 7 p.m. on Friday and will
be part of the AMC open house and exhibit preview.

media readers and active creators of independent media. Registration for
the symposium is $35 and includes FREE access to the rest of the weekend's
events!

[3] AMC PHONE TREE: Please help us spread the word about the Allied Media
Conference by emailing the following post to friends, allies, and
colleagues that you think should be coming. AMC is all about connecting
our extended communities, and word-of-mouth is the best way to make sure
we're all present and accounted for. Cut. Paste. Disseminate. Repeat:

......AMC2004...UNIFY2AMPLIFY.......
If you believe communities should control their media...

If you believe everyone should have the tools to create and distribute
their own books, movies, music, newspapers, and more...

If you believe communication is a human right...

You should be at the Allied Media Conference.
June 18-20, 2004.
Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, OH

Every year in June, hundreds of the most passionate people from the world
of independent media converge on Bowling Green, Ohio, for the Allied Media
Conference. The AMC focuses on sharing skills, building alternatives to
corporate media, and using media for positive social change. In addition
to hands-on, DIY workshops, the conference includes film screenings,
artist presentations, and a large exhibition hall to share our work. There
are caucuses for video activists, community newspapers, and Indymedia
members and a series of workshops for educators on using independent media
in the classroom. Set in a small, midwest town, it's also a space to
strengthen our community and enjoy each other's company.
