DESCRIPTION:--EVENT UPDATE--\n 5-7pm 8/5/13\n \n Location [UNDETERMINED]:\n \n The #Anarchives working group invites all OWS activists and the Occupy-interested public to help answer the question:\n \n "\;Who can imagine a Movement Anarchive for Occupy Wall Street?"\;\n \n 1 year from now\, on Sunday\, August 5th from 5-7 pm at [location still undetermined]\, we will be hosting a sharing circle and archive exchange for people who are archiving Occupy Wall Street in their own way. By doing so\, the #Jez3Prez Working Group and all Anarchivists will pledge themselves to follow through on the promise initially laid-out by the OWS Archives Working Group\, whose mission was to:\n \n "\;...Ensure that the Occupy Wall Street Movement will own its Past...and Guarantee that Our History will be Accessible to the Public..."\;\n [as published on December 12\, 2011\, publicly viewable here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1syXKEXeiKfycG5fMm2TnN8YoVW3VY uCQYcJOVe969wY/edit?pli=1 and here: http://www.nycga.net/groups/the-occupy-wallstreet-archives/docs/o ccupy-wall-street-mission-statement]\n \n We\, the Anarchivists\, commit ourselves to a future in which everyone has illustrated their own collection of Occupy Wall Street. Together\, we will collectively strive to offer access to these items of the Commons of OWS and\, by extension\, its participants to the collection of signs\, pamphlets\, flyers\, meeting notes\, sculptures\, art objects\, etc. that spans the history of OWS [and the Occupy Movement?]\, collected by Anarchivists all around the World.\n \n We encourage everyone to explore their resource networks and bring fun &\; imaginative solutions to archiving OWS that faithfully maintain\, preserve\, and provide access to this collection. We do not expect to come to universally-acceptable conclusions to every collective decision\, but we do hope to appreciate the work that we are all doing to anarchive this socio-political movement.\n \n \n --Original Invite--\n The OWS Archives working group invites OWS activists and the Occupy-interested public to answer the question:\n \n "\;Who will maintain the archives of Occupy Wall Street?"\;\n \n On Sunday\, August 5th at 5-7 pm at Interference Archive in Brooklyn\, we will be hosting a solutions-oriented discussion for dealing with our collection of physical items\; this collection includes signs\, pamphlets\, flyers\, meeting notes\, sculptures and other art objects that span 10 months of the Occupy Movement\, collected by the working group mostly in and around Liberty Plaza in New York City.\n \n To be clear\, while members of OWS Archives have drawn on personal resources to steward this collection in storage\, this is not a sustainable solution given our current resources and it does not achieve our objective to provide a functioning archive for the movement.\n \n Currently\, our primary option to ensure the long-term preservation and open access to the OWS Archives is donating the collection to the Tamiment Archive at New York University\, with whom many other OWS working groups have worked successfully. Tamiment collections document the history of radical politics\, the political Left\, social movements\, and the labor struggle in NYC and its core mission is to preserve the history of the Left and multi-faceted movements for social change\; in addition\, Tamiment has access to an excellent preservation department\, stable funding sources\, and a good organizational structure.\n \n Still\, we encourage you to explore your resource networks and bring practical and realizable solutions that can help us faithfully maintain\, preserve\, and provide access to this collection and/or donate items to one or several acceptable archival institutions. We expect to find an acceptable decision based on consensus -- if not\, then 9/10ths majority -- by the conclusion of this meeting.\n When: Monday\, August 5\, 2013 from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM (Timezone: America/New_York)\n Where: Interference Archive\, 131 8th St \, Brooklyn\, New York 11215\n Attendees: 1 http://plancast.com/p/cbri URL:http://plancast.com/p/cbri DTSTAMP:20120730T121308Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
