Have you been waiting to check out our new space? We're so excited for you to see it! And we are so grateful for all the helping hands that have helped us build shelves and organize boxes in the last few weeks.
We'll be sharing details soon about regular open hours in our new home, but in the meantime we would love to see you tomorrow evening -- at our new location! Read below for details on the poetry nite we're presenting with Sakhi.
If you haven't yet visited our exhibition at SUNY Purchase, We Are All In This Together, this weekend is your last opportunity. And we'd love for you to read the great review of Resistance Across Time: Interference Archive in Brooklyn Rail!

Audio Interference 40: The Monument Quilt
“I think we are, as immigrants, left out. Our voices are erased from the narrative. It’s not that we don’t want to tell our stories. It’s that there are no spaces for us to tell our stories.” – Lorena Kourousias
This episode of Audio Interference focuses on the Monument Quilt, a collective art project and an on-going collection of stories from survivors of rape and abuse, written, stitched, and painted onto red fabric. We speak with Lorena Kourousias, a social worker and activist who works with immigrant women, about the Monument Quilt’s project at the US-Mexico border on the 100th day of Trump’s presidency. Read more and listen on our website.

We Are All In This Together
OFF-SITE EXHIBITION
Richard & Dolly Maass Gallery at Purchase College
September 27 – November 10, 2017
EXHIBITION OPENING (Updated time!):
September 27, 2017: lecture at 5pm, reception 6-8pm
We Are All in This Together, presented by Interference Archive with the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, uses the collection of Interference Archive and materials produced by the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative to explore artists’ solidarity with social movements.
There is a long tradition of artists as organizers. Artists participate in social justice through their creativity communicating demands and goals with visual works, with their labor in producing multiples, and through creating consumable items for fundraising. We Are All in This Together illustrates the moments when artists have rolled up their sleeves to do the dirty work of organizing. More than providing political commentary or personal response to topical events, many cultural workers have used their trade and skillset in solidarity with social, economic and environmental struggles. This exhibit will use Justseeds prints that were produced in solidarity with recent struggles, including Standing Rock, the Wisconsin uprising, and Boycott Divestment & Sanctions, along with ephemera produced by those social movements.
