We are happy to announce the agenda for the 2004 OURMedia/NuestrosMedios conference. It is a very exciting program designed to facilitate dialogue and debate. Although some aspects of the conference program are still to be defined we wanted to share it with you. A planning group of about forty OURMedia members from all corners of the world have worked very hard to organize this event.
Apart from the plenaries and working session, there will be exhibit sessions throughout the conference, with a special exhibit reception on July 23.
If you would like to set up an exhibit or show a short video, please contact: om2004@ourmedianet.org
In addition to presentations and discussions, OURMedia IV will include a polymedia laboratory "NossoMidiaLab," a space for communication experiments and practical collaboration. Based on previous media laboratories, such as the Hub at the European Social Forum (Florence 2002), the Hurakán Kankún Alternative Media-Tech Convergence prior to the WTO Ministerial (Cancún 2003), We Seize! WSIS Counter-Summit (Geneva 2003) and the Foro de Acá (Montevideo 2003), NossoMidiaLab will be a space for experimentation, creation, and skill-sharing. Workshops, projects and exhibits will explore autonomous and community uses of video, radio, Internet and other traditional and new media technologies. Join media activists, community media makers, and communication researchers in Porto Alegre, Brazil, to share and reflect on our media making practices and experiences. Please visit:
