Light Year 64: New Beginnings

ONLINE ONLY!

Thursday, August 6th, 2020

2-10 pm (NYC time)

Students of Teachers College, Columbia University, present short videos on New Beginnings as part of the LIGHT YEAR series. The program includes videos created by both novice students and experienced video artists using video as a means of story-telling, artistic expression, and meaning-making.

The novice video makers were asked to create videos by examining their daily space, mundane moments, and themselves. Their videos show them finding a visual voice and learning to communicate through video as a medium, which is a steppingstone toward artistic explorations. Additionally, videos from experienced artists have been selected through an open call. They show the spectrum that meaning making through story-telling can take. The videos prompt us to search for new beginnings, finding and telling our own stories, meanings, and moments.
