Lunch & Learn: Reimagining Solidarity as Collective Liberation

From the Margins to the Blueprint: Building the Future of Public Media Around Filmmakers of Color

Part 3: Reimagining Solidarity as Collective Liberation

An intentional conversation about what it means to hold each other through struggle, not in spite of our differences, but because of them. Through the lens of documentary media and artistic and cultural production, we’ll discuss moving beyond fear-based notions of scarcity and suspicion to uncover the shared histories, dreams, and forms of resistance that bind our communities together. By sharing specific examples of solidarity in action, we can pool both the problems and the solutions. This is a space to listen deeply, feel collectively, and deepen the difficult, beautiful work of becoming accountable to one another—across borders, beyond fear, toward liberation.

Featuring Nausheen Dadabhoy (Director, Halal Bodies), Jason Fitzroy Jeffers (Filmmaker & Programmer), Grace Lee (Founder, A-Doc) in conversation with Loira Limbal (President & CEO, Firelight Media).

This is part of a three-part keynote discussion that takes an honest look at the state of public media: where we’ve been, where we are now, and where we’re headed – all while centering the communities at the heart of this work.
