E. Fender Bender
Transition: What - Why - Where - When - How are we going to facilitate a bike shop that caters to these needs and visions? @ :15 secs
I will say this or establish this as the mission somehow:
Fender Bender is a women and queer run bicycle collective in the Cass Corridor - the heart of Detroit. We are a collective of cycling advocates - mechanics - and bike enthusiasts dedicated to engaging with and contributing to healthy accessible women, trans and queer culture spaces in the D. We aim to stimulate and implement the needs, wants and imaginations of this community within the context of a fun and liberating bike shop and riding experience in the city and beyond. We are the cyclists we wish to see in the world.
Our aim is to have a positive impact on the cycling culture of Detroit by providing a safe learning and teaching space of mechanic training, bike riding safety and advocacy. Cycling has long been a male dominated domain. Although there have always been people besides men that ride and fix bikes - we are many times under-represented and overlooked, as is common in patriarchy. Fender Bender is a crucial element to the growth of a comprehensive and inclusive bike culture in Detroit that empowers and uplifts, especially those who have experienced less appreciation and representation.
An important aspect of creating this shop is through getting to know and understand the vision of the community we wish to serve and what they want. Fender Bender will use the ideas, feelings and feedback we collected thoughout the process of making this video to influence and shape our programing and content development.
this looks great sarah. i love that you're thinking about transitions.
ReplyDeletemy advice for you is to make a list of all the elements to need to capture and then start scheduling time to shoot.
This is exciting, Sarah! I like how you're trying to get people to think about all of the different ways that bikes can connect to our lives and experiences. I feel like this video could get someone who had no previous interest in bikes thinking about the possibilities that bikes can lead to. Nice work!
