Feel, Show, Change: The #mediactivism guide to claiming a right to your city

The European Cultural Foundation has been active in supporting young media activists across Europe for more than decade, and works for a media that supports citizenship. The audiovisual legacy of this work is gathered at mediactivism.eu, which holds an archive of 400+ alternative media works created by active citizens, artists and civil society groups from across Europe. This archive includes short films, remixes, mixed media, music videos, social commentaries, animations and artworks that document Europe’s most pressing social issues.

The last attempt to gather the methods and approaches of media activists on mediactivism.eu was ‘The Displaced in Media Recipe Book’, which examined media activists’ approaches to addressing migration issues. This guide, and the project on which it draws, will continue to support The Mediactivism Media Collection and contribute to a broader understanding of what media activism can
be.
