Exhibition • Discussions • Archive in Exile
Our Oppressions Are Connected, the sixth iteration of Documents of Resistance, will focus on expanding content and context of the Third World Liberation Front Strikes (San Francisco State College 1968-9; University of California Berkeley 1969), and Detroit’s Revolutionary Black Workers Movement which happened around the same time, 1968-1969. Central to this iteration are 2 new photographs and 1 photo triptych of which the name of the exhibition originates: Our Oppressions Are Connected, also known as ‘chain pieces’. These new pieces will be used as discussion points with invited guest—we are hoping to find connections between that past and present, in other words, looking back to move forward in the struggle against racial oppression, in all aspects of society.
This new installment of Document of Resistance will include the launch of the Archive in Exile, which will focus on expanding awareness on documents produced by communities of color in the struggle against racism and as a celebration of free cultural expression. During the run of this exhibition, pieces selected for archiving will be focused on the above topics Third World Liberation Front and Detroit’s Revolutionary Black Workers Movement. The Archive in Exile will include an archiving station, a digital database, and an digital repository.
