Workshop: The Written Memory: Preserving The Culture with Ann Hill-Bond
The next Rooted in Memory Workshop, "The Written Memory: Preserving the Culture" will be this Saturday, September 16th from 10AM-1PM with Ann Hill Bond. The workshop is presented in collaboration with The Radical Archive of Preservation, LLC (T.R.A.P.) and Dr. shady Radical. It is open to the community on a pay-what-you-can model. The suggested donations are between $15- $25. All proceeds go directly to supporting the speakers, as well as future SGA Education Committee programming and opportunities.
The purpose of this workshop is to inspire the community to preserve memory and engage in writing preservation rituals and archival practices. This workshop is also designed to help archivists see creative ways of thinking about archival materials.
