Glocal: Me and My World: a youth and new media initiative
January 12, 2008 - 2009
Glocal is a youth-centered exhibition and program of events that demonstrates the influence new media technologies are having on the youth's experience of the world. It will be produced in two phases and will premier in 2009, and continue on exhibit throughout the Olympic Winter Games and Cultural Festival in 2010. Glocal joins together the words "global" and "local" to express the contemporary experience of being part of a neighborhood, a global community, and a diasporic culture. The phenomenon of "Glocal" is the product of our increasing connectedness to technology and will be the theme linking all aspects of this project. It will include training workshops, internships and artist residencies, team building, group processes and forward thinking, resulting in innovative, interactive exhibition and events program.
