Sorry it took so long but here it is. Your questions made us debate among ourselves and do some research which took some time but it was well worth it. Let us know what you think and be real - its the only way to be.

How does one respond to oppression and racism? Malcolm X struggled with this question. Early in his career he divided the choices into two very distinct positions - assimiliation and accomodation versus resistance or opposition. Later in his life, he retracted from this stance. What do you think of Malcolm X’s speech? Do you ever struggle between the choice to be accomodating or resistant?

This is a shot of Bridgetown taken in July 07 which we will mashup somehow with shots of Chicago as well in YouthLAB.

This mockumentary was conceived by a diverse group of teenagers that worked with Mindy in 2000. They were asked to respond to questions as if they were a race/ethnicity other than their own. Some responded as white, African-American, Afro-Caribbean, or Latino. What reveals and makes fun of stereotypes and which depictions seem less like exaggerations and more real? As youth are you offended by any of these comments? What ethnic racial groups are not depicted or rendered invisible?

Create by the Barbados team, this video asks people their perspectives about living in Barbados.

Hey YouthLAB Barbados,Here are updated final video of questions for you.

An example of participatory media or commons-based peer production, this is a fan-made music video. Each person in the video shot and uploaded their video to motionbox.com. They gave all the footage to a couple of editors who combined it into this! We want to try to do something like this - constructing a video poem that we collaboratively shoot and edit together in virtual space.
