Beginner-friendly videography course for Indigenous youth ages 19-35
Mawi’Art: Wabanaki Artist Collective, in partnership with Ulnooweg Education, is pleased to offer
this series of Saturday workshops to introduce participants to the world of videography and
documentary film making. From the basics of good storytelling to the intricacies of camera
settings, colour design and navigating a career as a filmmaker, this program is designed to
teach participants everything they need to know to bring their visions to life and make a living
through the exciting and growing art of film.
Participants will have access to 4K video cameras, laptops, filming accessories and more in
order to reach the goal of this workshop series: creating their very own film as a final project.
We will begin by diving into the fundamentals of good filmmaking and progress through the
stages of pre-production, production and post-production. By the end of the workshops,
students will have an understanding of how to make a film start to finish.
The workshop series will wrap up by giving students tools to succeed in the world of film. Now
that they’ve learned how to make the film, they have to learn what to do with it. Participants will
learn to navigate social media, market their films, screen their work a film festivals and make a
living as a filmmaker.

The UNB Art Centre showcases The Art of Creation opening May 5 at 5:00 pm. The exhibit displays the results of a series of workshops designed to reflect on the importance of the environment and healthy behaviours before and during pregnancy.
Art is much more than just beautiful paintings of landscapes or important people. It can be a powerful vehicle for change, exploring and interpreting important socio-cultural issues and complementing academic pathways of knowledge. The Art of Creation combines storytelling, shadow puppetry, poetry and playwrighting to explore the role of men and non-birthing support partners in creating a healthy start to life.
A team of professional and semi-professional actors, poets, artists, and directors led a series of art and performance-based workshops with people in the Fredericton area over the past year. These workshops supported an experiential dialogue, tapping into an innate human desire to create as a means to reflect upon the science behind pre-natal health. Through art, participants were able to share thoughts, ideas and viewpoints that can be difficult to express in other ways.
The Art of Creation is a joint project of McMaster University and UNB’s Faculty of Kinesiology. For more information on the full project go here.
The Art of Creation will be on view from May 5- June 16 in the East and West Galleries of the UNB Art Centre. It can also be viewed online here.
The UNB Art Centre is located at Memorial Hall, 9 Bailey Drive, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton. The galleries are open 9 am – 4 pm on weekdays and during special events. Admission is free to members of the public.
