In the summer of 2006, some 300 activist artists from around the world performed, exhibited, taught workshops and connected with about 20,000 visitors during EWUF – (EARTH: the World Urban Festival) in Vancouver. EWUF was the official festival of the United Nations’ World Urban Forum and was produced by JMP.
Our new video, “So What is Art for Social Change, Anyway?”, edited by Craig Berggold and based on more than 100 hours of moving footage and stills from that festival, will have its first public showing at the international Performing the World Festival in New York on October 5th. Its first Vancouver showing will be on November 3rd, at Creative Conversations.
