FURI is a two week digital media workshop for socially-conscious Chicago teens in which youth create several video remixes and mashups that are critical or satirical works of art focusing on political, social, and cultural issues, from a youth perspective. In the process, participants will learn about how political remix is a cultural right protected by the Fair Use Provision and First Amendment and Free Speech.
