Virtual Book Discussion with Librarians and Archivists with Palestine

Thursday, June 25th at 7pm

Each year, Librarians and Archivists with Palestine hosts “One Book, Many Communities,” an international campaign which invites communities to come together to read and discuss a common book. The 2020 “One Book, Many Communities” title is The Book of Disappearance by Ibtisam Azem, translated from the original Arabic by Sinan Antoon. The Book of Disappearance imagines what would happen if Palestinians in the State of Israel suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The One Book, Many Communities project draws inspiration from the “one book, one town” idea, wherein people in local communities come together to read and discuss a common book. The Interference Archive community will come together for a facilitated discussion of the book with IA volunteer and LAP steering committee member Maggie Schreiner.

Audio Interference 76: Sanctuary City Project

The Sanctuary City Project is a research-led participatory art project from San Francisco based artists Chris Treggiari and Sergio De La Torre. They work to create inclusive spaces for dialogue and debate about sanctuary cities and immigration. As you’ll hear, the Sanctuary City Project collects stories of immigration, detention, and resistance and then shares those narratives with the public through video projections, installations, mobile food projects, billboards, banners, and pop-up print shops. Some of those posters are now housed in the Interference Archive collection in Brooklyn, New York.

Virtual Class Visits

We love having classes visit Interference Archive. It provides us with an easy way to meet our mission of engaging the public with the cultural production of social movements, and we are so grateful for every opportunity to introduce students to a different kind of archive: one where use is a form of preservation; one where multiple forms of knowledge, skill, and experience are valued and shared within non-hierarchical structures; one where everyone is welcomed as an archivist.

Since we're currently closed and unable to host in-person class visits, we're offering virtual class visits instead. Already, our Education Working Group has hosted class conversations about a range of issues and ideas; visit our website to read more and get in touch about doing something with you and your students.

The most significant portion of Interference Archive’s funding is donated by individuals like you. Many of these donations come when our doors are open. At events, exhibitions, or just folks visiting to peruse the stacks. While our doors are closed, we're feeling extra financial burdens and we really could use a boost in donations. If you can, please consider a one-time donation or becoming a sustaining member today. If you already do, we’d love for you to invite your friends to join you in your support.
