CPEA 202 - Alternative and Activist Media (4 Cr.)

(GCR Arts area)
This course will examine alternative and activist media production in video, print, audio, and digital formats. We will focus on the various aesthetic and exhibition strategies of makers of media outside of the mainstream, relating these to producers’ political, social, and artistic agendas. The course will include screenings of major works in the field, in addition to lesser-known productions that point to significant developments in the production and distribution of work that challenges political and cultural relations of power, contributes to political and social movements, and experiments with the format, structure, and process of production. Students will also produce their own projects to explore the opportunities and challenges of independent media production. Students are limited to one CPE course per semester. Marcus.
