Radical Playdate!
Sunday, April 30, 10am - 12pm
In this “now more than ever” moment we’re exploring ways to be more family-inclusive in hopes of growing our community. We would love for you to be a part of it. We want to make the archive and its events more accessible to people with childcare responsibilities, and also make social movement building a part of little ones’ lives as early as possible. Radical Playdates are a step in that direction.
All ages are welcome. We will have story time for little ones, and there will be stencil-making and drawing for older kids. We have paper and drawing utensils, but we encourage you to bring some, too. Also, please feel free to bring a book, a snack, or a drink to share, but it is not at all required. You are most welcome as you are.
If you have any questions, or if you have idea for specific programming you would like to contribute–a song, an activity, etc.–please email info@interferencearchive.org, otherwise see you there!

New Podcast Episode!
Audio Interference 32: Dan La Botz & Jamie Woodcock
"We did not go in there with the notion that we have all the answers to lead the working class, that we are the revolutionary leadership…the people who already understood the workplace, who understood the industry, who understood the union and its history were very often the rank and file workers who had been there for a long time.” – Dan La Botz
In this episode of Audio Interference, we compare labor conditions and labor organizing in 1970s America and contemporary UK. Charlie Morgan interviewed Dan La Botz and Jamie Woodcock. Visit our website to download or listen to the podcast.

Film screening: Finally Got the News
Saturday, May 6th, 7pm
Produced in 1970 as a collaboration between Newsreel filmmakers and the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, Finally Got the News paints a picture of race, class, and labor issues in Detroit while exemplifying the ways cinema at the time was used by filmmakers as a means for liberation and a tool for worker struggles.
This film screening accompanies Interference Archive’s public exhibition of the same name, which reflects on print publications from across the radical left in the 1970s. We will be joined by Stewart Bird, one of the Newsreel filmmakers involved in this production, as well as by Chris Robé, author of “Detroit Rising: The League of Revolutionary Black Workers, Newsreel, and the Making of Finally Got the News” (Film History, vol. 8 no. 4, Winter 2016) and Breaking the Spell: A History of Anarchist Filmmakers, Videotape Guerrillas, and Digital Ninjas (PM Press, 2017).
This screening is free and open to the public; no RSVP necessary. For more information, please visit our website.

Finally Got the News: The Printed Legacy of the U.S. Radical Left, 1970-1979
Exhibition Dates: January 26th through May 14, 2017
Curator's Tour: May 6th, 1pm
Finally Got the News (a collaboration between Brad Duncan and Interference) uncovers the hidden legacy of the radical left of the 1970s, a decade when vibrant social movements challenged racism, imperialism, patriarchy and capitalism itself. It uses original printed materials—from pamphlets to posters, flyers to record albums—to tell this politically rich and little-known story. This exhibition also includes a publication, available for pre-order.
