At our annual meeting in June, the executive board resolved to form an Equality and Diversity Committee. All current board members are part of this committee. We feel that it is important to consult all past and current IVSA members to help set the foundations and future direction for this new committee. As a result we are asking all members past and present to complete a short survey.
Although we are still deep in preparation for our 2019 IVSA conference in New York, we have some great news for you. We are ready to announce our 2020 conference venue and date for your diaries.
On behalf of the IVSA, I would like to thank everyone who stood for a position in our recent elections to the IVSA Board. Although not everyone could be successful, we very much appreciate the commitment that members have shown towards the work of the IVSA. We also want to thank all our members who took the time to vote.
The IVSA has launched a call for proposals from individuals and organizations interested in hosting our annual conference. Proposals are being accepted for 2019, 2020 and 2021.
‘Rebel Video’ a project previously featured in the IVSA Showcase visits the USA, Canada, and Europe. It’s a book launch event with film screenings and discussion. The aim of the tour is to stimulate discussion about the video movement of the 70s and 80s and its relevance for film/video activism today.
