History for the Future

A public history initiative based in the Twin Cities.

A series of free public workshops facilitated by local educators, organizers, and artists will use archives of mutual aid to explore themes of radical community care and collectively imagine radical futures. The conversations and digital media created in this event series will be brought together for an outdoor public exhibition in May, 2021.
