VIVO////1965 Main Street, Vancouver

the Evening News is a series of six forums happening as a part of VIVO 2010: Safe Assembly. Each evening will lean upon the experiences, observations, footage, and art of residents, media activists, and artists living around Vancouver for citizen’s “reports” on everyday life in the province, direct action and protest, and other transitory and lasting social effects of the megaevent. By asking the Vancouver Media Coop, the ORN, various local organizers, researchers, activists, and cultural workers to think through these associations during the Olympics the idea is to create an archive of community response that shapes dialogue and enables unique distributions of critique. With an understanding that the meaning of the Winter Olympics is much of what is at stake, the hope is to facilitate coherence amidst critical political and cultural communities.

If you have footage, work, or information that you would like to contribute to the conversation please bring the material to VIVO from 4-6 any day between February 13th and 25th, or email us at eveningnews.vivo2010@gmail.com.
