Greetings IMAS Members!
We are excited for these next couple of months as we have some fantastic guests for our IMAS Regional meetings.
Thursday, July 11th EST
We will be joined by Abby Sun!
Abby Sun is the Director of Artist Programs and Editor of Documentary Magazine at IDA. She is a 2022 Warhol Foundation Curatorial Research Fellow.
Most recently, Abby was the Curator of the DocYard. As a graduate researcher in the MIT Open Documentary Lab, she edited Immerse from 2020-2022. She also co-curated My Sight is Lined with Visions: 1990s Asian American Film & Video with Keisha Knight. Expanding on the latter's programmatic urges, Abby and Keisha launched Line of Sight, a suite of artist development activities, in 2021. Through her work, Abby considers the power dynamics in the documentary form’s inherent smudging of reality, with a particular interest in the media infrastructures and cultural artifacts of moving image circulation. Find out more about Abby here.
Abby will share lessons learned from curating The DocYard, valuable resources and tips on finding good partners, funders, and opportunities, as well as wisdom and insights on how underrepresented artists across various demographics can navigate and succeed in the film industry despite numerous challenges.
