Asian Girls Empowerment Through Media
This summer-fall workshop series will train young Asian women (age 14-21) in multimedia production while exploring media literacy and activism in the context of race, class and gender. The goal is to equip young Asian women with the ability to deconstruct the layers of mainstream media messages with which they are bombarded, while empowering them to create their own, culminating in a public screening at Anthology Film Archives and at the Newsreel’s 40th anniversary conference at Hunter and educational materials distributed to thousands of schools and colleges nationwide.
