Three questions will structure our small and large group discussions:
1. What did you do during the last year that worked well?
2. What new ideas or practices emerged during this time?
3. What will you do differently moving forward?
Helen De Michiel and Liz Miller, members of the Cocreation Convening Team, will facilitate this convening. These international convenings of international documentary theorists and practitioners started in May 2020 during the pandemi and have continued throughout.
Helen De Michiel is deeply involved in co-creative and participatory media practices, including combinatory storytelling which she calls open space new media. She co-authored Open Space New Media Documentary: A Toolkit for Theory and Practice with film historian Patricia Zimmermann. She writes regularly about her creative experiences, knowledge, and insight into these processes and possibilities. Her episodic documentary, Lunch Love Community (2010-15) circulated as an open space project across live and online communities; and, along with Berkeley Vs. Big Soda (2016), continues to make a real impact for global food justice
Liz Miller is a documentary maker and professor interested in new approaches to community collaborations and documentary as a way to connect personal stories to larger social concerns. She is the co-author of Going Public: The Art of Participatory Practice. Her films/educational campaigns on water privatization, immigration, refugee rights and the environment have won international awards, been integrated into educational curricula, and influenced decision makers
