LAMAS - Latin American Media Arts Symposium

Over the course of 4 days, we will gather with a group of curious and thoughtful artists, filmmakers, critics, and academics engaging with Latin American artistic production in Canada. We will be having panel discussions, round tables, performances, and special collaborations with local arts organizations. Some of the questions we will be tackling are: how are spaces and institutions supporting the visibility of Latin American media arts and film in Canada? What challenges and opportunities arise from translations and mistranslations, encounters and dis-encounters? How are identities and bodies transformed as a new notion of home is built? How can we move forwards through local and transnational collaboration?

Friends House (60 Lowther Ave.), Toronto

All panels will be open to the public, and entrance will be free!
