Hello Cool World/Good Company Communications founder Katherine Dodds and with her multi-media team have been doing some interesting work in innovative online content creation. The Mother's Day animation for Inter Pares is one such project, but the others are the promotion for the cross-cultural cross-discipline website FathomLabsHighway.ca, an Urban Ink production, and the ambitious Super Power Project which we have undertaken with our partner Women Against Violence Against Women (WAVAW).
With a group of teens in Vancouver, and a group in Kitamaat Village (A First Nations community in northern B.C.) we had the thrill of spending the last year working on messaging and online message distribution. You can check out our short messages online now:
Katherine was interviewed about the Super Power Project by Vancouver Coop Radio’s Redeye show and you can check out the interview on Rabble Podcasts. We have just premiered the longer videos and they too will eventually be online and later available for educational distribution for use in classroom or workshop settings.
This interactive website describes itself as a crossroads of the traditional and the new, featuring Aboriginal and culturally diverse artists and works of art. And they are launching a second season of fresh new content. What better way to promote an interactive website made by theatre-folk than by a YouTube ‘trailer’ with clips from the video documentation!
Yup, this project is pure arts and we loved doing it. It’s Important work in hybrid times. We urge you to spend some time on their site, and also to use our HelloCoolWorld.com campaign tool to tell your friends about this site.
The Super Power Project was funded in part through a Partners In Prevention grant from the BC Ministry of Community Services with support from the Haisla Nation, Chee Mamuk of the BC CDD and Options For Sexual Health, and in-kind services by WAVAW, Good Company Communication and Agentic Communications. Thank you all!
FathomLabsHighway.ca is an Urban Ink production with funding from the British Columbia Arts Council, the Canada Council for the Arts, and Heritage Canada.
