X-WAVE @ TSV | BIPOC-Centred Workshop Series
Learn how to craft a narrative through sound. Through creative and technical application, participants will explore sound as a narrative journey. This is a unique opportunity to make audio art.
Part of the X-WAVE workshop series continues at Trinity Square Video this summer. X-WAVE is a BIPOC-centred Workshop series. A safe space to learn and build your career. A place for BIPOC talent to engage with others and share knowledge. In 2019, Maya Bastian in partnership with Trinity Square Video started a series of workshops specifically for BIPOC participants; which refers to the next wave of filmmakers, video artists and storytellers that we know will redefine our culture through their diverse lived experiences.
