About this project

"to inspire ACTION, by taking ACTION ourselves"

WATCH our teaser :: http://creativemigration.blip.tv

WHAT IS THIS? ::
Creative Migration presents an original online documentary series. Our aim is to get young people to see social change happening in art & realize that they can create that change in their everyday lives.

Our 1st show is called :: Where's my Revolutionary Spirit? 9 days in NYC with Red76

Our concept is simple --> to inspire young people by creating fun & engaging content. It's like absorbing the content of PBS, but it feels like watching Gossip Girl. Our show will consist of 15 to 20 episodes averaging 5 minutes in length. Our series is musically driven, so each show features a different band's music.

We are raising funds through Kickstarter to finish editing our 1st show & launch the complete website in May 2010. We will use the funds to finish editing this monster of a series. We are constructing a new website along with sending it out on all logical video platforms & social networks. Your donations = a job well done !

FULL DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT ::
Red76 is a multi-artist collective started in Portland, OR. Since 2000, they have produced numerous projects & have appeared in publications such as The New York Times & Art Forum. Their work has been shown in venues such as P.S.1 & Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

In late September 2008, prior to the US Presidential election, Creative Migration documented Red76’s experimental activities in NYC for 9 days. Their project called The Battery Republic was a mobile tavern that investigated the concept of Revolutionary Spirit. Many movements & revolutions began in taverns throughout history; where folks convened, relaxed & discussed their thoughts/feelings such as the Sons of Liberty did in the late 1700's leading up to the Revolutionary War.

The setting was a group contemporary art show called Democracy in America: The National Campaign organized by Creative Time, located at the Park Ave Armory on the Upper East Side. Not only did we capture this project, but also a pivotal time in the history of the United States of America, the dawn of the financial crisis.

"Red76's work centers around the practice of grassroots publishing (both zines small newspapers, & online), conversation, and alternative economies which center around a larger theme of the American Revolution (the 76 in their name references 1776, the year the US independence) & a general revolutionary spirit."
