O knihe
What would happen if we start with a critical consideration of archiving that doesn't place the archive or the archivist at its center? What if instead, we begin with material and movements and then ask ourselves: what is the use of archiving this? who is this archive for?
The Social Movement Archive examines the role of cultural production within social justice struggles and within archives. This book contains reproductions of political ephemera-zines, banners, stickers, posters, memes, and more-alongside 15 interviews with artists and activists who have worked across a broad range of movements including: women's liberation, disability rights, housing justice, Black liberation, anti-war, Indigenous sovereignty, immigrant rights, and prisoner abolition, among others. These images and accompanying conversations illustrate the power of political art and ephemera to transform cultural practices, places, and communities; and its capacity to be a force for disruption in archival spaces.
