Theme

“Civility vs Violence: Education, Art and Community as a Way to Embrace Nonviolence”

War, racial and gender discrimination, intolerance, and social conflict are part of our daily lives. We see violence in the streets, on social networks, in the news, in print and digital media.

The Miami New Media Festival wants to show that civility, respect, art and education are effective ways to embrace peace. Communities must be the main actors in this process of change, and artistic expressions can be a response with a healing effect on our society. This is why we want to open a space for reflection to collect and share video art and performance works, with the aim of helping to overcome this difficult time.

Finally, MNMF 2022 will present new perspectives on how to embrace peace through the views of selected artists to understand the present times and be part of an inclusive future.
