MASJ has been producing powerful collaborative media with community members, non-profits and students for many years now. These projects span a multitude of mediums and have not only been used to educate communities but have also been featured in film festivals, have aided in preserving Native American languages as well as given a platform for youth voices to be heard. This semester will be no exception as a new batch of Claremont College students get ready to make their mark and strengthen the relationships of various community sites with Intercollegiate Media Studies.

This semester will feature media collaborations with Sherman Indian High School, Huerta del Valle, REACH LA, the Costanoan Rumsen Carmel Tribe, and Native American Elder and Spiritual Leader Robertjohn Knapp.

We are very excited for what's in store! Make sure to check back to get a glimpse of our new projects!

MASJ Students Have a Ball at Reach LA's Ovahness Ball

11/16/2013

West Hollywood- One of the biggest events of the year for MASJ students did not disappoint, as the 8th annual Ovahness Ball, put on by Reach LA, blared with dancing and general festivity all night long on Saturday, November 8th, 2013. The Ball, the biggest of its kind on the West Coast, has a reputation of showcasing the top talent in 'vogueing', the type of dance made famous by Madonna's similarly titled hit song. The event was made possible by the efforts of Reach LA, a group MASJ works closely with to ensure the education of young, inner-city African-American men on the topic of HIV/AIDS and sexual safety. Students gathered hours upon hours of footage at the event and talked to many interesting people with interesting stories. View the slideshow below for an idea of the work MASJ did at 'Ovahness Ball 8: The Haunting'.
