Digital exploration and outreach
As an artist-run centre, Vidéographe is committed to creating a positive societal impact through its Digital exploration and outreach program. We believe that exposure to the arts can have important positive impacts and can play a significant part in academic and social success. Through its education and outreach program, Vidéographe offers opportunities for learning and artistic creation to adolescents and young adults. The activities take place in our partner spaces and at Vidéographe.
Our Digital exploration and outreach program comprises the following activities:
- Exploring experimental video practice through several themes (video art, dance video, socio-political and identity-based themes).
- Meetings with Quebec-based artists who discuss their work and their career paths to inspire young people.
- Exploring different creative techniques such as stop motion animation, drawing on film, making experimental video.
Our interventions are aimed at young people, to develop their social and emotional well-being, while also:
- arousing their interest in the arts
- introducing them to new works of art
- guiding them in learning a diverse range of creative techniques and approaches
- sharing positive and unconventional career paths
- valorizing their own artistic expression
- putting forward different points of view, histories and cultural knowledges as beneficial elements for the advancement and development of media arts in Quebec
