Sou Sou! Saturdays: Crafting Memory, Building Legacy

Our Community Archiving Lab for Culture and Justice has reminded us of the importance and urgency of archiving our Afro-Diasporic histories- especially in times when our legacies and institutions are under threat of erasure.

On Saturday, November 15th, join us for a Sou Sou! Saturdays gathering in which we will not only look at ways of archiving our own stories and legacies, but we will put those lessons into practice.  

Families and community members will take part in workshops ranging from Archiving 101 to  Poster-Making, while also having the opportunity to bring photos, videos, and personal materials to begin the process of digitizing and archiving their own stories and legacies.

Co-Presented with PMCI (The Place, Memory & Culture Incubator)

Inspired by the financial resource-sharing traditions known throughout the African Diaspora by such names as "Colecta", "Box Hand", "San", "Partna", or "Sou-Sou". This family-based art and education program reinterprets Sou Sou as an exchange of cultural resources. Sou Sou! Saturdays celebrate and honor our connections by upholding our traditions of collective growth, mindfulness, celebration, and creativity with families of all ages.
