Storytelling Matters
What if We Let Archives Die
by Cori Olinghouse
As an artist, archivist, and curator working primarily with performance, I imagine an archive as a living space that develops protocols for process and regeneration, allowing for flexible methods of creating meaning that include bodily knowledge and improvisation. A living archive is an open-ended system that is adaptive, responsive, and modular. The archive is dynamic and may contain both pre-existing and newly generated documentation produced from past, present, and future iterations of works, alongside a built-in system for review, redaction, and expansion. Embodied archives approach the body as a repository of knowledge, drawing from performance forms and cultures that use orature, improvisation, ritual, storytelling, and choreography.

Media Policy Watch
by Priscilla G.
Washington State passed legislation to end restrictions on public broadband earlier this month according to Ars Technica. The bill which is currently awaiting approval from Washington's Governor Jay Islee's would overturn legislation that has been in place for 21 years prohibiting local government from providing broadband access directly to customers. "“The Public Broadband Act broadly authorizes all local governments to provide broadband to anyone—people who are totally unserved, people who have some internet access but it’s not affordable or reliable — any people at all,” Said the bill's sponsor State Representative Drew Hansen in an article published by Motherboard.
Washington's Bill accompanies Biden's announcement late last month of a $100 Billion public broadband plan. Biden has stated that he wants affordable internet to be available to all Americans by the year 2029 as reported by Newsweek. According to the White House's fact sheet the investment will "reduce internet prices for all Americans, increase adoption in both rural and urban areas, hold providers accountable, and save taxpayer money."
Last week Vice published an article celebrating urban farm New World Growers and Lobelia Commons-- two successful food autonomy projects tied to the grassroots social media campaign #1400challenge. The #14000 challenge-- a collaboration between the group Inhabit and communities across the country-- seeks to turn pooled stimulus money into local, collective projects, and to design clear, replicable graphic guides for others to use. “Without us taking the reins ourselves, especially with our food, we are going to be beholden to the [rich] people that really don’t care about us,” says Michael Chaney, founder of New World Growers, highlighting the potential of such projects in the face of the precarious circumstances many currently face.
We want to hear from you. Are you concerned with any national media policy stories that are underreported? Are there any local stories in your area that need highlighting? Please let us know.
