Beyond Endurance: Reimagining Media Praxis

About the Symposium

At a time of profound upheaval, this symposium centers media research and practice as a force not only for survival, but for hope and transformation. Across two days of interactive workshops and reflective panels, alumni from the Center for Media at Risk’s network will convene with external experts to offer actionable strategies for media makers and media researchers that foreground collective action and creativity. How do researchers and practitioners see (in)humanity? What potential do multimodal approaches hold for disrupting past and present knowledge hierarchies and preserving stories? How can media be a practical resource for resistance in a world that feels increasingly unstable, unequal and on fire? By reuniting to explore these urgent questions, the Center for Media at Risk leverages its diverse network of researchers, journalists, filmmakers and artists to envision new possibilities for media research and practice that center creativity, community and hope.
