A collaboration with artist William Caballero in his experimental performance series entitled Speak! so the World will Listen, featuring—in the style of Steve Reich’s Different Trains—Caballero’s live music set to artistic documentary-style footage.


Caballero uses footage from my documentary project SANDS OF SILENCE: A personal journey into the trafficking of women for the segment on sexual slavery.

    VIRTUAL LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT

The Open Letter Project (NMI 2008) The Open Letter Project is a national collaboration of producers from the third annual New Media Institute, a project of the National Black Programming Consortium. Working with a diverse fellowship of producers from all across the US, The Open Letter Project harnesses the civic citizen voice through various independent new media explorations -- from locative media mapping projects around immigration, to interactive, user-generated content designed to track the story of fuel consumption. These projects engage the historic energy now being harnessed in grassroots campaigns around the country, thanks to the most recent US general elections, and are great examples of the varied future uses of next-media platforms for community engagement. Tothepresident.com enables everyday Americans to share their views directly with the new president, his administration and millions worldwide. This user generated website will offer an alternative platform to the ways citizens have historically communicated with their president.http://www.blackpublicmedia.org/catalog/channel/openletterprojecthttp://www.tothepresident.comshapeimage_5_link_0shapeimage_5_link_1
