Victory to Change is a documentary by Baltimore-based filmmaker Gregory Walsh. It follows two remarkable female Indian activists as they fight for the most marginalized members of society.  Community Supported Film, an organization that trains storytellers from developing countries as filmmakers, presents three shorts by Afghans.  Art of Solidarity, MICA in Nicaragua, presents The Mothers of Martyrs, a documentary that revisits the Nicaraguan Revolution 30 years later by interviewing mothers who survived. They reflect on the tragedies of war with the goal of passing on their stories to a new generation and advocating for world peace.

Panel discussion will follow, with Elizabeth Alex from Casa Maryland, Aida Pinto-Baquero from Patterson Park Public Charter School’s Mis Raices, Sawsan Al-Sayyab of International Rescue Committee, and members of the Baltimore Women’s Forum – a monthly dialogue group of refugee women, including Mary Kinyoli of Kenya, and Nidaa Haseeb of Iraq.

Michael Sheridan is one of the best teachers one could hope to have. He has a genuine commitment to facilitating students’ ability to realize their vision, which is backed by a deep understanding of technology and technique. I had the pleasure of hiring Michael to teach over twenty years, and student reviews were always excellent.

Decolonise How? | What does a crisis look like? The ethics of humanitarian imagery

Our collective visual vocabulary of crisis is neither accidental nor neutral. It has been shaped by decades of coverage, often from a narrow, Western lens – a lens that has taught audiences what suffering is supposed to look like. That vocabulary now distorts our understanding of crises and undermines the dignity and agency of those living through them.
