The Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center is a grassroots organization committed to using media production and distribution as tools for promoting social and economic justice in the Champaign County area. We foster the creation and distribution of media, art, and narratives emphasizing underrepresented voices and perspectives and promote empowerment and expression through media and arts education.
The IMC building, converted from old local post office, also provides space for art exhibition, performance, community meeting, activism, and etc. It also has a library, theater, art studio, and recording studio for the use of community.
The idea is probably a ‘expanded community center’. A place and space. Physical and media. Bring people together, communicate to each other, and take action.
