People’s Media Camp makes a comeback later this year, Saturday and Sunday, October 3–4! Camp is a two-day gathering for grassroots preservationists, archivists, community historians, artists, and memory workers to share skills, stories, and strategies for resisting erasure and imagining free collective futures. We seek to uplift this year’s theme — “Push Back! Push Forward!” — through workshops, roundtables, film, visual and performing arts, and the People’s Bazaar, as we honor past struggles and build collective power. This will include a special Sunday activation at Washington Square, a historic burial site for those excluded from traditional burial practices. Want to be involved in Camp this year? We are accepting proposals! Swipe right and see what piques your interest. Save the date! We can’t wait to do it again! Proposal link: bit.ly/camp26-proposals
