"Media Circus is a gathering of people who create, consume, critique and distribute media content that challenges, questions, expresses and celebrates our culture, our society and the way we live". First held in Melbourne in 1999 the Media Circus events are focused around ways in which the top down approach to main stream media can be broken down and replaced by more representative cultural expressions. "Misrepresenting the Movement" explores the misrepresentations so often apparent in the media. The three speakers explore the modes and effects of the stereotyping of minority groups.
