Communication Strategies for the Prison Industrial Complex Thousand Kites track at the Allied Media Conference 2010

Thousand Kites has a track at this years Allied Media Conference, Communication Strategies for Ending the Prison Industrial Complex. This track will bring together urban and rural community media organizations to explore the power of narrative campaigns that combine hands on media-making (flip video, radio, web, phone, and viral communication) to organize both inside and outside the prison walls. Participants will develop grassroots communication strategies by recording their own stories, interviewing others, and develop communication models that bring voices from inside prisons and immigration detention centers to the public. Radio, theater, web, poetry, and visual arts will all be explored in this track.

We want to invite you to propose a session for our track , or any of the thirteen other visionary tracks for AMC2010. These tracks are being coordinated by diverse networks who will use the AMC to deepen their relationships and forge alliances across networks, to showcase their current media-based organizing practices and to develop new ones. Each track will have two to four sessions, with many sessions overlapping multiple tracks. We invite you to submit a session proposal for AMC2010 that aligns with one of these tracks OR is completely outside of these tracks. Your session proposal does not have to fit within one of these tracks.
