| My topic is called Using Stories for Social Change. I am going to talk about my own experience in this realm, it's going to be quite informal, and then ask people who may be interested in being on a team to take my project forward, to connect with me. Typically I'm looking for people with experience in video, film, radio, comic books and graphic novels, those who work in online or video games as also people who have started communications businesses. (But it could be others who are just inspired by my project and have some relevant skills.) | | My topic is called Using Stories for Social Change.

| |
| Khadija Baker is a multidisciplinary artist who creates installations that combine video, textile, sound and animation. Her work explores social and political themes related persecution, displacement and memory.
| |
| Having worked with a variety of media such as painting, fibers, and video/moving images, her current research combines these practices to create intimate site-specific sculptural installation environments that engage the senses (sight, sound, and touch.) Her work breaches the divide between artist, art and public, creating an active space of participation, exchange, understanding and storytelling.
| |
| Her work has garnered many awards and scholarships, including the Millennium Scholarship at Concordia University (2005 & 2006). In 2009-2010, she received the Vivacité grant for culturally diverse artists from the Conseil des arts et des letters du Québec, a Vidéographe research and experimentation grant, and the Joyce Melville Memorial Scholarship in 2011. She received grants from Canada Council of the Arts, in 2011, 2012 & 2013 and most recently form CALQ. Khadija has exhibited in cultural capitals such as Montreal, Toronto, New York, London, Berlin, Marseille, New Delhi, Beirut and Damascus. She presented her work at the 18th biennale of Sydney, Australia, 2012.
| |
| Khadija was born and educated in the town of Amoude, Syria. She studied Interior Design, receiving a Master’s degree in 1999 from the University of Damascus, Syria. Since 2001 she lives and works in Montreal, Canada. She had a BFA in Studio Arts from Concordia University/ painting & drawing, and completed her MFA/Open Media at the same university2012.
| |
|
| |
| The presentation describes " Don’t leave me I am still alive” a combination of a live performance and animation. I will use the space and life sound effect to create an environment that affects the viewers in a way to become part of the work; they are also invited to participate. This work involves a narrative storytelling and performance to create active spaces of empathy and greater understanding.

| Sound Theatre: "It Is Only Sound That Remains"
| |
| A live performance based on Shahrzad Arshadi coming into contact with an exceptional woman, Ziba Kazemi after her tragic death at the hands of Iranian authorities in the summer of 2003.
| |
| An experimental and innovative project using the words, archival recordings and voice of Ziba Kazemi, herself, It Is Only Sound That Remains creates a living document to honour and celebrate this Montrealer’s life.
| |
|
| |
| "Sounds are playing softly in the space. After everyone is settled, the lights go out. The play begins. We hear a voice; it is Ziba. It’s an invocation of her spirit that exists beyond our visual realm. Sounds of archival conversations and audio footage of her life, music, her conversations with her four-year old son (Salman) Stephan while Ziba prepared dinner, teaching him to say certain phrases, mixed with professional actors reading from the script, sometimes in French, in Farsi, in English, these private moments heard by the audience in the dark, allow each person listening to draw an image of this living, breathing woman and her life in their mind’s eye and come into the intimate sphere of a woman whose life became very public only after her death."
