Spacy: Archives Beyond Activism

Spacy: Archives Beyond Activism
Sunday, 02 March, 2025
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free admission, limited capacity
1300 S Polk St #160a, Dallas, TX 75224

In this workshop, attendees will put archival images classified as LBGT in dialogue with their own photo libraries, creating a new artifact that can be left in a public place. We will each use the space of one page to think about what queerness and transness actually is in the world — the way it liberates people, the way it threatens all structures meant to oppress everyone. And we’ll go behind the scenes of iconic images in various social campaigns to understand fully how tender, personal experience fuels collective action.
Hosted by the microcinema, Spacy, this workshop is facilitated by Lyndsay Knecht, Editorial and Engagement Lead of and will include music from the nonprofit label’s catalog with an emphasis on TRAИƧA, the 46-track spiritual journey featuring 100+ contributors celebrating trans artistry and influence. Admission is free. Attendees will receive information about archives accessible to them for future projects. For those who are not able to make it, RSVPed patrons will still receive this information at a later time through email.
