The IM4 lab, in collaboration with Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF), invites you to attend the ‘IM4 Immersive Knowledge Gathering', an exciting live webinar series. This webinar series features conversations among XR media creators, artists, and storytellers from Indigenous and culturally diverse communities.

During our time of physical distancing the IM4 Lab and VIFF are committed to providing opportunities to promote learning and dialogue in the spirit of exchange about immersive technologies. The IM4 XR Knowledge Gathering's guest speakers will share their thoughts in a virtual circle and spark discussion about how we are designing futurisms using immersive technologies.

Our stellar speakers include Nyla Innuksuk, Amelia Winger-Bearskin, Nancy Lee, Suzanne Kite, Travis Mercredi, Casey Koyczan and more!

This series will celebrate how Indigenous and diverse artists and storytellers are creating narratives and territories within immersive technologies that flows from our cultural based values, such as reciprocity and relationality. And we will explore how technology can reflect our responsibility to future generations as well as the challenges facing our communities today.

The first live webinar will be on June 10th at 5pm PST with IM4 Creative Director Loretta Todd, Jason Edward Lewis, and Dallas Flett-Wapash.
