Stop Making Sense / Sense Making

2019-05 - 2019-09

Stop Making Sense / Sense Making, a collaboration between SKETCH and CFMDC, is a 10 week workshop series for youth on the margins to interact with film, media, and technology and create works to be exhibited in August 2019.


The workshops are a makerspace for those who want to explore the absurdity of our senses. The theme is underscored by experiential learning and knowledge that participants will be able to gain knowledge by doing.


The workshops begin at the end of May and run until the beginning of August, with a culminating exhibition August 20th - September 1st 2019.

TERRITORY & SOLIDARITY: The daily work of CFMDC takes place in Tkaronto (Toronto) which is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaty signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. We also acknowledge The Dish with One Spoon treaty between the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee that covers the land of what is now called southern Ontario. We work with the knowledge of the importance of recognition of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the four First Nations Principles of OCAP®. As a Media Arts organization we draw your attention to the work of the National Indigenous Media Arts Coalition (NIMAC). As part of  anti-colonial solidarity, CFMDC board and staff proudly commits to the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI). Calls to support PACBI and the wider Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) come from Palestinian civil society and are grassroots strategies opposing the colonization of Palestine by directly targeting complicity.
