(Via Wireservice.ca) Aboriginal Territories in Cyberspace’s (AbTeC) Skins Machinima Workshop is coming to Vancouver and will be led by Kanien’keha:ka artist Skawennati. Six Indigenous youth will work in machinima, a technique of making movies in virtual environments, in this case using Second Life. Vancouver’s Contemporary Art Gallery will host the program in its Burrard Marina Field House, in partnership with the Museum of Anthropology. “We will be talking about Indigenous self-representation in media,” says Skawennati.
