The Memory and Resistance Laboratory (MEM-RES) is a collective initiative to develop radical memory work across media forms for the healing and empowerment of communities. MEM-RES generates living archives of memory-- open-ended liberatory practices that dismantle long-existing systems of violence through anti-imperialist, anti-racist, feminist, and radically imaginative means. MEM-RES holds discursive events, hosts artists-in-residence, produces films and publications, and works toward long-term collaborative media projects with grassroots social movements around the world.
The Greenhouse Project is an intergenerational educational space that centers art, food, and climate justice. We see climate justice as an intersectional movement, one that strives to be accessible and inclusive, and recognizes the importance of collective liberation. We believe in radical skill-sharing, collaborative learning, and active listening. The space is intended to provide opportunities for community and student-led teaching and learning experiences through workshops, programming, and events. We see this space as an opportunity to gather - sharing conversations, meals, and artistic practices as we engage in meaningful discussions about climate justice.
