The Artistic Activism as Radical Research class in Spring 2023 took a field trip to see the exhibition Archive as Memorial: Documenting A/P/A Voices During COVID-19 in Chinatown. We were reading about activist archives and looking at art activist projects that mobilize the archive as a tool for social change. The Archive as Memorial Archive was organized by members of A/P/A Voices: A COVID-19 Public Memory Project, a volunteer team of Asian American and Pacific Islander cultural workers, oral historians, educators, caretakers, and activists who have worked collaboratively since lockdown in March of 2020 to document the COVID-19 pandemic and the myriad ways it has impacted Asian/Pacific/American communities in New York and beyond. The exhibition included recorded interviews and artifacts documenting the themes of mutual aid, community care, economic impacts, interracial solidarities, and disability politics.
