When: Monday October 18, 2010
Where: 16 Beaver Street

Who: Free and Open to all
From the US Social Forum to Nicaragua.
This summer at the Social Forum in Detroit, we were able to meet some dear friends who moved away from New York a while ago. Between the meetings and workshops many other discussions and dreams came up. On one particular evening, the idea of going to Nicaragua, revisiting the memory of the Sandinista Revolution and meeting Rosario and Ernesto came up.
This week we are lucky to have both Rosario and Ernesto here in New York to screen and discuss some of their most recent films and the relation of their work to the everyday and the living memory of the revolution. They will also elaborate on a workshop they have been developing (time image workshop) functions and what actions have taken place since 2003.
Besides fielding questions and opening up to a conversation, they will touch on other site-specific projects they have initiated or are currently working on.

2. About Time Image Workshop (Taller Imagen Tiempo)
Located in Jinotega, Niyalagua, 3 hours away from Managua the Capital City. The space works as a base for countryside research on topics such as land reform, agricultural frontier and ethnic displacement within a context of high contrast and violent political debate where memory is a silenced vortex.

3. About E.V.I.L (Ejército Videasta Indio Latinoamericano)
Started in 2003 as a free community of video makers that wanted to produce and distribute alternative video works aside from the mass media agenda. In 2004 we made the first Video Workshop in Managua providing young enthusiasts, creative and technology tools to produce short experimental videos. From that workshop we finished producing eight videoarts and we screened them with other works of videoartists from Nicaragua and Colombia. We rent a local porn cinema called Cine July. The screening was successfull, it was the first time that a videoart public screening took place in Nicaragua.
After the first experience we organized more workshops (Documentary Photography for Video in 2005, and Sound for Video on 2006) that were taken by more young people that feels the lack of this kind of educational options in their academic scene.
