International Women’s Day Online Screening

The world has taken us down a strange path— one where sexism, racism and environmental disregard dominates and continues to persist. Many have risen up and fought for a more compassionate world, but despite this, we have found ourselves in a time where a man who embodies these exploitative ways runs the most powerful country in the world.

Online Screening: Journeys (Or alternatives to the Monomyth)

You have woken from a dream into somewhere even stranger. A woman dances alone in a room. The image is distorted, but you can make her out. A stream of individuals, one after another, watches the woman. Some are curious, some baffled, some upset. But there is no denying this act of dual voyeurism is exciting. Each new random individual representing a potential interlocutor, changing the experience of the performance. Multiple paths branch out. This is our starting point.

Video Pool Indigenous Youth Mentorship Program

The Indigenous Youth Mentorship Program was a collaboration with Community Education Development Association (CEDA/Pathways). Each participant was paired with a mentor from the arts community; Niki Little, Luther Alexander and Jackie Traverse to learn and create a video project. This project was supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, Artist and Community Collaboration grant.

Exiled Mothers

he film Exiled Mothers takes us on the artist’s journey to recover her own repressed memories as she examines the social construction of relinquishment, adoption, and motherhood. It introduces us to many other Canadian mothers, who as young women—caught between love for their children and a social snare that demanded surrender—shared the same experience as Sharon that takes a lifetime to resolve. More than a film about adoption and loss, we witness an important period in the history of Western women as we emerge from the fog of a time when the judgment of so many, wilfully separated masses of mothers from their children.

Michelle Teran’s video work “Mortgaged Lives” was included in Video Pool Media Arts Centre’s AGE OF CATASTROPHE exhibition that ran from November 13 – December 12, 2015.
