We Are What We Archive
Sept. 29, 2016–Jan. 15, 2017
Opens THIS Thursday, September 29, 7–10pm
This fall, Interference Archive presents an exhibition highlighting some of the lesser-known objects in our collection. Made up of five exhibition components and two screening series, We Are What We Archive sheds light on Ballot Busters — cultural ephemera exploring the relationship between social movements and electoral politics; The Liberation Support Movement — a North American solidarity organization which built support within the U.S. and Canada for African liberation movements in Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and more; Piss on Pity—Disability Activism in America — a look at the history of disability activism in the U. S. since the 1960s; Queering Interference — a spotlight on the posters, flyers, zines and buttons in the collections at Interference that were made by queers; Referencing Revolution — access to information about the world around us plays a defining role for ourselves as communities and individuals, and it gives us tools for making change; The Joanie4Jackie Chainletter —a special series of events revisiting this innovative video chainletter project Joanie4Jackie; and What’s That For? An extended conversation with the Videofreex — a rare opportunity to engage with this early, and seminal, video collective.
More information about this exhibition and screening can be found on our website.

Interference Archive has teamed up with the Amplifier Foundation, Climate Prints, and People's Csllective Arts to host the next installment of our ongoing propaganda parties. What is a propaganda party? It’s where we invite dozens of organizations, activists, designers, and artists producing materials around a political issue together to hang out, meet each other, and distribute their flyers, stickers, posters, buttons, and more. All propaganda is free, and we encourage all to come by, grab a drink, and load up on as many posters and stickers you can carry!
