Reading “Finally Got The News”: 3rd Sessions, Part 4

Interference Archive 131 8th Street, No. 4, Brooklyn, NY, United States

This reading group, designed to accompany Interference Archives’ exhibit Finally Got The News will explore some of the key liberation movements of the 1970s U.S. through the lens of written documents included in the exhibition, as well as excerpts from publications by the activists and intellectuals who led, chronicled and theorized about them. This is not a nostalgia trip, but an opportunity to critically examine some important and often-overlooked threads of our collective history in order to inform our own politics of liberation in the 21st century.

The People's Forum 320 West 37th Street, New York, NY, United States
