Congrats to IMA student Betty Yu!

IMA student Betty Yu got accepted into the Create Change Public Artist in Residence of the Laundromat Project. The project “Garment Worker” installation (prototype made in Interactive Media Production). The 6 month residency culminates into a public art show in October.

The Laundromat Project is a community-based public art non-profit that brings arts programming to laundromats in the Greater New York area through two core programs: Create Change Public Artist Residency and Works in Progress. Both programs seek to raise the quality of life for people whose incomes do not guarantee broad access to mainstream arts and cultural facilities.

IMA student David Pavlosky’s screening

In honor of May 17, International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO), IMA student David Pavlosky’s documentary short Don’t Bring Scott will screen in Lefkosia, Cyprus as part of the program Voices against Homophobia, on Sunday, May 20th, at 6:30 PM. The film was selected, translated, and subtitled by the NGO, accept-LGBT Cyprus. For more information go to: http://www.acceptcy.org

Don’t Bring Scott, (USA; 28 Minutes) is a personal documentary portrait that investigates the roots of homophobia in the American family and its reinforcement via religion and society. When David’s working class parents celebrate their 46th wedding anniversary without inviting his partner, this All-American, rural family of three generations is dragged into the 21st century.
