Us [About IMAA]
The Independent Media Arts Alliance (IMAA) is a member-driven non-profit national organization working to advance and strengthen the media arts community in Canada. Representing over 100 independent film, video, audio, and new media production, distribution, and exhibition organizations in all parts of the country, the IMAA serves over 16,000 independent media artists and cultural workers.
We [The Project]
From April 1 2023, to March 31, 2024, The Independent Media Arts Alliance (IMAA) will undertake “Building Anti-Racism Capacity and Action in the Media Arts” a capacity-building initiative for member organizations across Canada to develop and implement tailored strategies for equity within their organizations, leading to measurable change in the areas of staffing, governance and/or programming. The process will actively engage one cohort of five to six organizations and pair each participating organization with consultants in anti-racism and anti-oppression training and organizational change to conduct self-assessments, identify priorities and determine goals. This framework will involve stakeholders at all levels of each participating organization (staff, board, members, and broader community). Activities will be supported by the creation of peer affinity groups to share learnings between participating organizations.
