Placement #3: Shadowing with Native Youth Arts Collective.
Location: MCAD, March 13 4:00-6pm
This week NYAC and MCAD students took a deeper dive into brainstorming ideas and concepts that revolve around the theme of “place”. Everyone was instructed to write onto sticky notes with their idea then Genevieve, Joe and Heidi organized the notes and that’s how we got split into our groups for this collaboration. Some of the ideas included film, print making and music. We also had a few guest speaker from the Service bureau talk to the NYAC students about what services they can utilize. I was apart of the film group along with Tom, Jera and Lauren (MCAD) and Brenna, Briezy and Carissa (NYAC). We all decided that the NYAC members would get to be the directors of where they want this film to go. The NYAC members decided they wanted to direct a film to combat the negative news that surrounds the Little Earth community and create a film that highlights the positive moments that often gets overlooked.
