This year, our programming series focuses on creative and alternative archival approaches that preserve and present marginalized histories + futures. As part of this series, we’re putting on an open call for creative works that utilize archives to present in our showcase evening at Pen and Brush on April 19th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. Selected individuals will receive an honorarium for their participation. Additionally, we are hosting a workshop on digitizing tapes (VHS, Hi8, and MiniDV).
