Conversations with the Earth (CWE) is an indigenous-led multimedia
campaign to amplify indigenous voices on Climate Change. A collaboration
between indigenous communities, journalists, photographers, designers,
and participatory video facilitators. CWE is initially present as an
exhibition in Copenhagen, supporting live presentations by
representatives of several indigenous communities as delegates gather
for the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of
the Parties meeting (COP15).
The Citizens' Media special issue, Volume 19 (4&5) is guest edited by
Jethro Pettit, Juan Francisco Salazar, and Alfonso Gumucio Dagron.
Citizens' media and communication are still poorly understood in the
mainstream of development policy and practice – and are prone to
simplistic forms of implementation, because of the lack of a coherent
grasp of the social, cultural, and political processes that make them
transformative. Introducing the articles in this guest issue, the
authors find that citizens' media is about more than bringing diverse
voices into pluralist politics: it contributes to processes of social
and cultural construction, redefining norms and power relations that
exclude people. Local ownership and control of their own media can allow
people to reshape the spaces in which their voices find expression.

Development in Practice, Volume 19 Issue 4 & 5 2009
Special issue: Citizen's Media and communication
Now 8 issues per year
Augusto Boal (1931-2009)
We dedicate this special issue to the memory of Augusto Boal, the
Brazilian director and playwright whose 'Theatre of the Oppressed'
inspired countless activists worldwide to bring theatre, art, media, and
communication into their work for social change. Boal created a critical
and mobilising kind of theatre for 'humanising humanity', where actors
mix with people in the streets and on public transport, and spectators
become 'spect-actors'. His work spread to many countries and evolved
into methods like Forum Theatre, Legislative Theatre, Journalists'
Theatre, Theatre of the Factory, Theatre of the Office, and many others.
Augusto Boal affirmed that 'the theatre is all of us' - and that through
it we can reveal the power that shapes our lives, transforms the
silences, and overcomes oppression. May his work live on and continue to
inspire.
