BIPOC Media Lab&rsquo;s purpose is to hold space for community members that identify from the BIPOC community (Black, Indigenous, Person of Colour). Our intention for this positioning is to respond to the gaps in equity in the arts and ensuring we collectively are making changes to these structural issues. If you can no longer make it, please cancel your ticket so that we can open up the spot for others in the community.&nbsp; If you would like to contribute further, contact us to become a volunteer, or talk to your friends about our cause!
