What we mean
con·scious / adjective
Conscious
Present, intentional, awake to whose story it is. We listen before we speak, feel before we film, and work with people, never on them.
dig·i·tal / adjective
Digital
Stories travel, and stories last. Film, 360 video, live-streaming and living online archives. Technology that helps us listen better, never talk over people.
In their words
Historians of the future will be grateful for this archive.
Kathryn Bell · Co-founder, GEMMA
We would have no hesitations about doing more work with Cameye Arts.

It was really affirming to learn about all the LGBTQ+ history surrounding us in such a fun and inclusive way.
