Radical Playdate presents: Let’s Make Posters!
September 28th, 2019, 2–4pm
Recommended ages: 12 and under
If you had a radio show, what would you say on it? What kind of music would you play? Who would listen to your radio show? Inspired by our current exhibition, Resistance Radio, we’ll design and make posters about pirate radio, listening, music….and even pirates if you want!
We’ll have stamps and stencils with (kid-safe and washable) stamp pads and spray markers, and lots of paper. Just bring yourselves!
There's a suggested donation of $5 but no one will be turned away. Read more here.

Resistance Radio: The People’s Airwaves
Exhibition dates: July 11 - September 29, 2019
Interference Archive is pleased to show, Resistance Radio: The People’s Airwaves, which looks at the history of radio as a medium for grassroots movements and their organizing work. Radio has remained a consistently popular form of communication over the past decade, in part because of certain unique features: it is relatively cheap and accessible, it is a form of media that is inherently tied to its location and its local community, and it reaches populations not served by online media, including those for whom language or literacy is a barrier. Radio, both past and present, has been attractive to those who wish to embrace a DIY ethos and a spirit of resistance, and to others as a platform for community building and the development of a political consciousness. This exhibition focuses on radio endeavors created to reach communities not served by mainstream outlets. We’re interested in the people, stations, and organizations that have battled to bring their defiant programming onto the airwaves, and particularly in cases where these actions were in service of grassroots movements and/or community organizing. Resistance Radio: The People’s Airwaves tells some of the stories of these rebellious broadcasters.
Read more on our website. Poster design by Peter Kaplan.
