Historical Memory, Citation, and the Archive: Activating the Components of Our Culture of Revolt
Sunday, June 23, 2019, 6-8pm
Slideshow Lecture and Discussion with AK Thompson
How do recollections and invocations of past struggles inform contemporary campaigns against injustice? Drawing on material from his new book Premonitions, movement-based scholar AK Thompson reveals how historical memory, citation, and the archive operate unconsciously to constitute the political field and shape our culture of revolt. What political opportunities arise when historical memory, citation, and the archive are brought into consciousness, and when their invocations are made deliberate? Following the insights of Walter Benjamin, Thompson alerts us to the possibility of a politics that is simultaneously more radical and more mass-based than current movement configurations.

Everybody’s Got A Right To Live: The Poor People’s Campaign 1968 & Now
Exhibition dates: April 18 - June 23, 2019
Described as Martin Luther King Jr.’s “last great dream,” the Poor People’s Campaign (PPC) of 1968 was an ambitious movement to make poverty in the world’s richest nation visible and to demand justice for poor Americans. The PPC struggled to define itself as a multi-axis movement while it faced political suppression from the state, ultimately derailing its reform goals and leading some to consider it a failure; however, its spirit and intention has carried on into the present day within a growing resurgence campaign seeking to call attention to the unmet demands of ‘68.
This exhibition provides a look at some of the visual culture of the original PPC, including photographs of marches and rallies, press coverage, and a contemporary public response to a mural in Resurrection City called the ‘hunger wall,’ in addition to showcasing the efforts of the new PPC and a portfolio of Justseeds posters created in solidarity with their actions.
