MORE DETAILS:

===> JACKSON 2BEARS
* Live video/audio performance - revolution you can dance to!

Jackson 2bears is a Kanien’kehaka (Mohawk) multimedia artist currently based in Victoria B.C. Canada.

"I work primarily with video and audio media as a means to reflect on issues of: racism, colonialism, discrimination, Indigenous
subjectivity and Native stereotypes...My performance work is primarily inspired by electronic music and dj/vj culture, and uses
the form of the remix as a tool for cultural critique. Often emerging as a playful take on popular Native stereotypes, these Live
Cinema/Scratch Video remixes function as mixed-media interventions against extirpative and discriminatory representations of First Nations culture."

===> GROUND NOISE & STATIC - subMediaTV/Pepperspray Productions
* Vancouver Premiere of this 30-minute documentary
* Pepperspray Productions will be in attendance to talk about the filming, including their arrests during production.
* "First we fight the battle, then we fight the battle of summation"

"A video report on the protests that occurred in connection with the Democrat and Republican National Conventions, Ground Noise & Static is a manifesto. We went to Denver and St. Paul to take the pulse of the movement. Corporate media would cover the platitudes and posturing of the politicians, we were interested in something else, a story hidden in plain sight, captured in the now-classic street chant, 'This is what democracy looks like.' Ground Noise & Static is a joint effort of
Franklin López of subMedia and PepperSpray Productions. It is the direct result of a wonderful collaboration with many indymedia-style activists and journalists who all pitched in for the common good and success of their various efforts to tell their 'Unconventional' stories."
