Media and Movements Beyond Borders
Grassroots struggles for justice are usually rooted in their geographic location. Yet - from police brutality on the streets of Queens and government repression in the plazas of Oaxaca, to homelessness and displacement in the Bronx to the Gulf Coast to the rise of slums in Lagos; from hunger and poverty in East New York to famine in Kenya; from wiretapping and police surveillance in our communities and military occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan - there are apparent connections in the ways people all over the world negotiate and counter similar forms of oppression and injustice. Workshops include:
*Solidarity, Not Charity: A Youth Media Workshop on Katrina; *Grassroots Media and Brooklyn's Atlantic Yards Development; *Our World Our Mic: Creating Youth Radio Documentaries; *Prometheus Radio Project and the global community radio movement; *Crossing the Border: Hip Hop liberation, revolution and resistance; *On Public Access and the State of Media: Policies That Affect Us All; *Dead Trees: Small Magazines and Newspapers in the Digital Age; *Black-Community Radio and Media Reform; *Slingshot Hip Hop: From Brooklyn to Palestine; *Art & Activism: the NYC Ghost Bike project; *Youth exploring the Root Causes of Migration; *Podcasting 101: Creating Your Own Podcast; *NODE 101 - learning how to make a videoblog; *Engaging workers through media; *New York's Wireless Future; *Youth Debate Concerns over Internet Filters, Sex Ed & Free Expression; *We are all in Darfur, and Nairobi, & Johannesburg: The African perspective. This year, the NYC Grassroots Media conference seeks to ask: What are the common threads inherent in our global struggles for social change and how does the media contribute to our understanding of the root causes of injustices faced by world communities? From educating ourselves and our government leaders to spreading our messages and recruiting broader and more diverse constituencies into our campaigns, media is central to the struggle for social justice. Therefore, the fight for better access to and representation in the media is essential for advancing peace and justice both at home and abroad. Join us for the 4th annual NYC Grassroots Media Conference as we explore these connections and strategies and work together to demand a media system that will link ourdiverse communities, connect local and international struggles, and fight for social justice across boundaries and beyond borders.

Podcasting 101: Creating Your Own Podcast
10 a.m.-11:45 a.m.
Podcasting is a new form of free radio broadcasting which uses the Internet as its mode of distribution. It involves recording your own audio and making it available online for other people to download. Creating a podcast doesn't require having much more gear than a computer and microphone, so it's a technology you can learn without many obstacles. Additionally, since podcasts are suited for play back on any computer or mp3 player, audiences can re-play podcasts anytime or anywhere they want. In this workshop, participants will learn how to create their own podcast. We will lead an in-depth tutorial on how to choose equipment, produce content, and record and publish a podcast. Then, we will create a mock-broadcast as a group to demonstrate how podcasting works. We will also listen to other podcasts and observe their strategies and design. Finally, we will discuss how they are being used to bolster grass-roots media movements both locally and around the world.
Panelists:
Allie Alvarado is a freelance multimedia producer. She has collaborated on several music projects around NYC, with releases on the Social Registry music label. She is currently a member of the beatscape quintet Eystek, and also devotes her time to teaching video and music production in different capacities.
Tianna Kennedy is the free103point9 Special Projects Coordinator and a founding member of the August Sound Coalition. She is also a New York-based cellist, sound and transmission artist, consultant, curator, events coordinator, and writer. Though her projects vary greatly, they are all underscored by her commitment to egalitarian and participatory practices.

31 Down Radio Theater's interactive telephone mystery and public media art installation set in the Canal Street Subway Station in New York City. Participants are invited to make a toll-free call from any public pay phone in Canal Street Station (inside of the turnstiles). They are then guided on a pay-phone mystery. The game takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.

Tajna Tanovic stars in this public pay phone who-dunnit set in the maze of tiles that make up the Canal Street Subway Station. This is an interactive piece that challenges participants to test their skills at listening and following directions. Players are put in the shoes of Mike Sharpie, private investigator, as he searches the depths of Canal Street Station for a young French woman that may have committed a murder, or may be a figment of Mike’s wandering imagination.

To play, call this toll free number to begin:
1-877-OR-WHAT-31
(1-877-679-4283)
Toll-free number, no cost.
Note: This mystery takes place on the N, Q, R, W, 6, and J, M, Z platforms, not the A, C, E, station.

Canal Street Station is co-produced by 31 Down radio theater and free103point9 and presented by free103point9 as part of the transmission arts non-profit's Tenth Anniversary Celebration March-October, 2007. Featuring performers: Ryan Holsopple and Tajna Tanovic.

*William H. Kennedy author of Lucifer's Lodge (Satanic Ritual Abuse in the Catholic Church) and Satanic Crime (a Threat in the New Millennium) talks about how he came to write his book after a tip from father Malachi Martin. http://www.williamhkennedy.com/

* Bart Sibrel a filmmaker who’s documentary, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon seriously questions the authenticity of the Apollo moon missions, talks about his transition from being one of Apollo’s biggest fans as a child to one of their biggest doubters as an adult. http://www.moonmovie.com/

The Peeesseye and its many offshoots (Phantom Limb & Bison, Pee in My Face With Surgery, collaborations with Tetuzi Akiyama and Stephen O¹Malley, releases on Utech, Chocolate Monk, Archive, etc.) have been slinging mud and clawing at the foundations of the experimental noise underground for five years now. They've released 5 CDs and a 7 inch (all on Evolving Ear) in that time.
The Peeesseye¹s classification confounding music has been characterized by certain sage voices as ³coming off like a punk rock AMM² (Edwin Pouncey, the Wire) and like ³a slightly more western canon focused Sun City Girls² (Volcanic Tongue). Family Vineyard honcho Eric Weddle recently wrote in Signal to Noise that "Commuting Between the Surface & the Underworld, Peeesseye¹s new and fourth full-length, is arguably the most remarkable smorgasbord of back porch minimalism, sound poetry and urban decay of recent memory."
