Libraries as Practice: Tending Toward Liberation explores the unequivocal relationship between books, libraries, freedom, and liberation. Hosted within the C& Center of Unfinished Business library and exhibition at The New School’s Social Justice Hub, this program follows Libraries as Correctives, an online program featuring Contemporary And (C&) in conversation with international libraries: Keleketla! Library in Johannesburg, Sister Library in Mumbai, and Asia Art Archive in Hong Kong.
Bringing together organizers from local independent artist-run libraries, non-circulating collections, archives, reading rooms, and small presses, Libraries as Practice considers the role of libraries in making space for freedom-work. At a time when libraries in the United States are under threat by right-wing legislation, the program explores the crucial ways in which these spaces shore up education and literacy and expand personal and collective narratives toward liberation.
