About this Event
About the event: Have you ever wanted to elevate your yo-yo tricks? Interested in learning sleight of hand magic? Bored with your usual scarf styling? Looking for gentle exercises to keep fit at any age? Aching to line dance to Achy Breaky Heart? Wondering how the Internet actually works?
Learn with Media Burn!
Each third Thursday, Media Burn Archive will select a surprise vintage educational video from our collections to screen. Materials to complete educational activities and light refreshments provided. Comfortable clothing suggested (we may end up working up a sweat with Barbie or practicing yoga with Jane Fonda! Who knows!).
We are proud to be a part of the West Town Chamber of Commerce's Third Thursdays on Grand!
About the organization: Media Burn collects, preserves, and distributes documentary and experimental media produced by artists, activists, and community groups. Our mission is to create positive social change by amplifying underheard voices, both in contemporary dialogue and the historical record.
Free and open to the public, donations appreciated!
