Youth Media Art Project empowers younger generation
The Indigenous Youth Media Project pressed pause in Prince Albert last year, but returned for its fourth event in 2018.
The project is the brainchild of Aleyna May Morin, who’s hosted the camp three times before.
“By offering the tools, we’re creating change within the community,” Morin said. “Not only is it free tools, but we’re teaching them how to respect the tools, how to respect each other, [and] how to give back and share their story.”
Between July 15 and 21 participants in the camp will create an indoor mural with the help of a local artist from Muskoday. While learning about painting, the youths will also learn how to use still and video cameras while producing their own video project. This year, Morin noted, the participants were jumping at the opportunity to create their own movie.
