Irwin Oostindie (@dutchphoto), Executive Director of W2 Community Media Arts Society spoke at UBC today about the Fearless City initiatives in the Downtown Eastside (DTES).
The focus of this project is to provide access for DTES residents to tell stories about the community through video and photography that are uploaded to social media sites using mobile technologies.
During the Olympics they will be using the True North Media Centre as a hub for sharing their neighbourhood experiences while offering a social space for bloggers to network and conduct research.
