Show & Tale: Activists, Artivists & Archives

Show & Tell or Look & Listen.

In this life there are SO many ways to #RESIST. Do/did you, a friend, a lover or an ancestor keep mementos from those activist experiences? Do you or a friend/ancestor use art to lend support to a cause near and dear to your/their heart?

How are you documenting your time during the pandemic?

Pink pussy hats? Photos from the Women’s March you participated in? Signs from Black Lives Matter protests? ACT-UP fliers? Standing Rock protest T-shirt? Protest songs? Recipes? Postcards? Handmade posters, meeting notes, poems & other pieces of your/their archive that tells your/their resistance story?

Come across a photo of your great aunt at a rally for a women’s right to vote? Or find a suffragettes sash in your great grandmother’s archives? Newspaper clippings from an ancestor’s participation in the civil rights movement? Or a photo of you with your friends marching on Washington for gay rights & AIDS funding? Was a family member lost in the Triangle Factory fire or fought for worker’s rights after learning of these workers fate?

Show & Tale is like Antiques Roadshow meets The Moth, or your favorite Pinterest board come to life!
