This event was organized by the Memory and Resistance Laboratory, a collective initiative to develop radical memory work across media forms for the healing and empowerment of communities. At the Memory and Resistance Laboratory we are actively working to link geographies of settler colonial occupation, from Palestine to California, and to urge forth a planet where all lands, bodies, and worlds are liberated.
