Diversity in Place: Making Documentaries on the Multicultural City
April 24th, 2009

Website: http://diversityinplace.wordpress.com

More than half of the population in the world now lives in cities, and 
the urban share of the globe will continue to increase dramatically to 
reach 70 percent by 2050.  Migration, both from within and among 
societies, is a major source of urbanization, with multicultural cities 
on the rise everywhere.

Call for Documentary Film/Video Entries

In an innovative way toward mutual learning, we invite the submission of 
video and photo documentaries whose emphasis is on exploring 
multicultural cities and processes of place-making.  Scholars, teachers, 
students and practitioners alike are searching for alternative methods 
to conventional data analysis and academic writing to be able to capture 
ethnic diversity and multicultural interactions in real world settings. 
  The use of documentaries to show the daily practices of 
multiculturalism in the city can make several key contributions to 
research, teaching and action.


Videos not in excess of 15 minutes are requested for submission to 
screenings which will be held at the conference venue at the University 
of Hawai'i Manoa Campus on April 24th, 2009. Selections of videos to be 
included in the seminar will be made by a committee of students and 
faculty who are organizing the event.  Artists, video- and filmmakers, 
researchers, writers and others interested in the relation between 
people and places and the making of multicultural cities are invited to 
join the project, participate to the seminar to discuss their ideas and 
work.

Questions, themes, topics and issues to be addressed in the 
documentaries can include, but are not limited to:

     * How documentaries by recoding the presence of people of different 
origins over time can reveal 'invisible' minority cultures in a way that 
no other media can.
     * The efforts at historic preservation of elements of the city that 
might otherwise have been overlooked but are of high cultural value to 
members of a community.
     * How multiculturalism can work well in practice and thus 
contribute to a more positive attitude about and pride in the 
multicultural city, and thereby assist in fostering mutual accommodation 
and tolerance.
     * In an age of global migration in which significant segments of 
multicultural cities do not have citizenship or are otherwise 
marginalized in the city, how documentaries can help identify issues of 
social justice.
     * How multiculturalism inscribes itself into the city by everyday 
uses of urban space and lead us to a greater appreciation of the many 
different identities that make up the multicultural Cosmopolis of 
contemporary times.

By combining the reflections and findings emerging around the objectives 
of the conference, and understanding the inevitability of increasing 
diversity in urban places, this conference aims  at drawing lessons and 
recommendations as to what makes the creation of ethnic spaces possible, 
and further what helps to form and shape livable cities with healthy 
intercultural relations, namely, cities as multicultural places where 
migrants' place-making is understood and acknowledged as an inherent 
human right to the city.

This conference is sponsored by the Student Equity, Excellence and 
Diversity Initiative (SEED), University of Hawai'i at Manoa.
