Hi Activista crew!
For this December's Activista Happy Hour we are excited to partner with Interference Archive, a social movement exhibition, archive and event space located in Gowanus, Brooklyn.
For this happy hour, Interference Archive will be hosting a special open house from 5:30-7:30 pm, which will be followed by drinks at Halyards down the block. This is a great opportunity to check the space out, and to see their latest exhibition "Serve the People: The Asian American Movement in New York."
Curated by Ryan Wong, "Serve the People" charts a history of Asian American activism, organizing, and cultural production in the 1970s. It is the first exhibition to focus on New York as a center of this national phenomenon. Through posters, leaflets, newspapers, film, and music, "Serve the People" shows how Asian American identity was shaped by reclaimed histories, revolutionary politics, feminist awareness, third worldism, and community organizing. The culture created by young activists and artists in the movement embodied their ideals, speaking to the excitement and urgency of the time. Read more here: http://interferencearchive.org/
