Mindy Faber is a media artist, activist, curator, and educator. Grounded in biting humor, a surreal sensibility, and engaging personal narrative, her works are informed by political and feminist thought, exploring the construction of female identity as a result of social expectations and limitations. Her video Delirium, about the history of female hysteria, won over a dozen awards including the prestigious Grand Prize in Video at the 1994 Berlin Film Festival. In her role as a youth media activist and educator, Faber’s signature approach is defined by a unique inter-generational collaborative process that helps youth explore radical new cultural forms such as games for change, political remix, virtual worlds, online interactivity, and data visualization. After attaining her MFA in Video Art from the School of the Art institute of Chicago, Faber served as the Associate Director of the Video Data Bank for twelve years. Upon receiving a 1996 Rockefeller Foundation Intercultural Fellowship, Faber shifted her creative focus towards youth, collaborating with teens to produce several award-winning works. She then served as Director of Distribution for Video Machete and taught media arts at Evanston High School for several years. Through her group, Open Youth Networks, Mindy has constructed new curricular model programs based on participatory media and learning, including the Fair Use Remix Institute (FURI) and YouthLAB (Listening Across Borders).
