Description

Activate Arts Welcomes Sam Hamilton as Arts Activist in Residence for our Activate Arts Youth Activism Summer Camp! Sam Hamilton is an international artist from Aotearoa New Zealand who will be guiding youth arts activists in a geopolitical choral arts video project. The project is titled, Te Moana Meridian. This project is about the Pacific Ocean and the international Prime Meridian (the place we measure space and distance). https://samhamilton.org Te Moana Meridian involves a big team of artists, performers, and thinkers from Oregon, New York, and Aotearoa New Zealand, and will be presented in various forms at the Portland Art Museum, the Transmediale Festival of Art & Digital Culture in Germany, and elsewhere. The plan for the youth arts activists is to creatively develop a piece of music (which will be very playful in nature), and then professionally film a performance of it at the beach. This video will then become part of the traveling exhibition. The project will be similar in nature to a performance Sam did with the Camas High School Choir at the Portland Art Museum in 2019. Camp will also include special guest Odessa Ford! https://www.facebook.com/artistodessa/ Activate Arts Youth Activism Summer Camp is June 21-25th, M-F, 10-3pm at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. We are inviting youth in grades 1st-8th to participate. Camp is free for all youth living in Lincoln County. Contact Crystal Meneses our camp organizer with registration questions. (503) 358-6143
