AMC2022 Afterglow, AMP Seeds Fall Series Announcement, AMC2022 plenaries and ceremonies now available on Youtube!
As we revel in the afterglow of AMC2022, we ask ourselves how to continue to center belonging and connection in our work? As writer and artist Alok brings into tender focus, “Friendship is the answer to most of the existential questions in the world. What a friendship is, is the everyday practice of articulating a need and having it met.” How can we nestle ourselves in the power of relations rooted in care, consent, and vulnerability? What freedom and joy awaits us when that is the goal of the work? May your August be spent luxuriating under the summer sun and reveling in the company of loved ones.
We are thrilled to announce the fall AMP Seeds Series! This four-part series will explore and celebrate storytelling as a tool for change, movement organizing, joy, and care. From oral histories to hashtags, stories help us capture the most complex of feelings and endeavors. This season we uplift media makers bringing intentionality and spirit to the stories they document, make, and share to intervene injustices and honor their communities. AMP Seeds 2022 Fall Series will run every other Thursday September 15th through October 27th 7pm ET. All events will be followed by the Seeds Cafe 8pm EST.
Allied Media Conference explores 'radical hospitality' with 3 Detroit-area culinarians. Check out this Detroit Free Press interview with Ora Wise, AMC’s Culinary Producer and editor of our virtual resource Recipes for Radical Hospitality, “When I talk about radical hospitality,” Wise said, “it's a focus on accessibility, generosity, sensuality and beauty, grounded in the belief that these experiences and elements of life should not be exclusionary or considered superfluous.”
In collaboration with the 22nd Allied Media Conference, A People’s Guide to Tech (APGT) designed a series of art cards that share our Five Principles for Understanding Tech, five ideas designed to promote holistic and reciprocal relationships to technology. Read more on our blog.
