Opportunity to exhibit at Marygrove College… for all ages….
SUPERTUBE YOUR CITY // DETROIT
In coordination with the Detroit opening of “Detroit: A Brooklyn Case Study” at Marygrove College
SUPERFRONT presents SUPERtube Your City: Detroit.
From May 16 – June 30 | Detroiters are invited to use YouTube as means to create a viral think tank. The project aims to enable citizens of Detroit to directly commission the efforts of creative designers without the centralized urban planning process. SUPERFRONT is launching this effort to use free web video resources as a means of fostering dialog between cities and producing collaboration around shared urban concerns.
You can contribute and be part of the traveling exhibit!
—> Pick one lot, one block, one neighborhood in Detroit. Make your 1-minute video there. Please pick topic A or B. Name your video SUPERtubeyourcityDetroit_Address_YourName
A) What’s one thing in Detroit you want to ask architects and urban planners to work on? If you could ask an architect, urban designer, or urban planner to design or re-design anything at the place where you are making your video, what would it be? Who would be served?
Please make it clear in the video exactly where you are with block number, street address, or neighborhood boundary.
B) You can also make a video to show architects, designers , and urban planners what already works – in one lot, one block, or one neighborhood in Detroit. Make a 1-minute video, showing what design success is under-reported at the place where you are making your video. What makes this place work so well? Whom does it serve?
Please make it clear in the video exactly where you are with block number, street address, or neighborhood boundary.
Upload exactly 1 minute of video to your account on YouTube, and email a link to your video to supertube@superfront.org with SUPERTube in the subject line. Please send a link only. Video files sent to this address, and links to other online video services will not be reviewed or shown. Please remember to name your video SUPERtubeyourcityDetroit_Address_YourName.
All videos satisfying the SUPERTube format will be exhibited in Detroit this summer at Marygrove College during the exhibition of Detroit: A Brooklyn Case Study. In the fall, Architects, urban designers, planners nationwide will be invited to respond with designed proposals also uploaded via video on YouTube. Detroit: A Brooklyn Case Study has been on view at SUPERFRONT LA since January 2011. The exhibit opens July 14th 2011 at Marygrove College, Detroit, MI, and will be on view for 2 months. More info here-> detroit.superfront.org
Submissions will be reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis until June 30, 2011.
Hello, I am interested in getting involved in the Detroit Summer programs and helping out with your different programs and such. I would also love to share a vision I have of an all ages music venue, coffee shop in the city that will provide a space for youth organized concerts and a youth organized business as well as a space to implement endless possibilities of youth driven programming and serve as well as a space for homeless or displaced youth to be able to get their most basic needs met. I heard about Detroit Summer while listening to Grace Boggs speak at he Willis Street festival a few weeks ago and her speech as well as my own internal devices are inspiring me once again really get involved in our community and with the youth.
Hello my name is Nicole A. Carter, and I am a doctoral student at Eastern Michigan University. I am attempting to find out more about Detroit Summer, and what ways that “older” youth can help out. Congruently, I am interested in speaking with any young females who are part of Detroit Summer as my research is related to female-centered youth activism in Detroit. Any information would be wonderfully appreciated. Have a nice week!

PLEASE do not post the email i just sent with my daughters email for the world to see. I thought this was going to your server for approval and information not posted on your page.
the last comment with our email won’t be published. to reach us directly email info@detroitsummer.org
I’m from Art Imitating Life clothing and we want to donate through proceeds of our sales through a micro grant program here in the city. However, we have sent 3 or 4 emails with only one response from “invincible”. We have not been able to contact you guys to see if Detroit Summer would be interested. Is there anyone I can email to talk about this besides sending an email to info@detroitsummer.org ?
