The ACHE Project x ADEFRA: Grassroots Community Building Across Borders Exhibition
Community Workshop
Join the Black Lesbian Archives in collaboration with the Stonewall National Museum Library & Archives for an exhibition and presentation discussing grassroots community building beyond borders. Featuring The ACHE Project (Oakland, California) and ADEFRA (Berlin, Germany). The global impact of physical, digital media spaces in our past, present and into the future.
To accompany the exhibition, please join us for a community workshop led by Erin Glasco and Zakiya Collier of Shift Collective. Erin and Zakiya will take us through Historypin, a community-centered digital archive that enables communities to collaborate, share, preserve, and explore local and global history through geographically based storytelling. They will walk us through LGBTQIA+ collections on Historypin, and discuss the ways they're supporting community-based archives like the Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library with digital archival storage solutions through a pilot program they’re undertaking with the Filecoin Foundation. You’ll leave the session knowing how to create a Historypin account to start documenting and sharing your own histories, and knowing more about future directions for digital community archives!
There will be light refreshments and food served. And an altar space for our past ancestors (feel free to bring something to share). This exhibition will be ongoing until January 2025.
