We invite you to join UP students and faculty of the Social Justice Minor and Public Research Fellows (PRF) program for a free workshop about preserving family and community history with Taishona Carpenter and Teressa Raiford from Don’t Shoot PDX. This workshop will be an opportunity to learn how archival research can be a tool for personal and collective liberation and is open to all who may be interested in the ways the materials of research and work of storytelling can play a role in social change.
This workshop is in service to Don’t Shoot Portland’s Liberated Archives and Memory Work for Black Lives series, which highlights themes of systemic oppression, displacement, and collective resistance to racial and economic injustice in Portland and the state of Oregon. You can see some of Don’t Shoot PDX’s previous community archival work by visiting the Liberated Archives Exhibition with the University of Oregon. Stay tuned for more Liberated Archives events on campus, including an upcoming exhibit in the Clark Library’s Covert Gallery after the New Year.
Please join us on November 30, from 5-7 p.m. in Franz 120 for the workshop and to learn more. Open to all!
Please contact Prof. Lizz Schallert at schaller@up.edu for any accommodation needs.
