SUMMARY:Oral History: A Queer Art: A Two-Day Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \nTHIS WORKSHOP IS NOW FULL. PLEASE SIGN UP FOR THE WAITLIST\, AND WE WILL BE IN TOUCH IF SPACE OPENS UP. \nOral History\, a Queer Art will follow the course of our usual immersive workshops by offering foundational oral history training–theory\, method\, practice– while inviting exploration into the way that oral history values and theory are arguably queer and/or well-positioned to support emergent complex queer narratives. This workshop will also seize upon the history and abundance of queer oral history projects\, approaching this canon as both case study of “insider history” and as inspiration for future projects. We’ll challenge a purist oral history model\, asking how it can/should be adapted with queer values and theory in mind. \nThis workshop is appropriate for those looking for foundation oral history training\, those embarking (or currently working) on queer oral history projects and/or those who wish to learn in a queer-centered space. All are welcome. \n  \nMore about Oral History Summer School: Our workshops are set up to bring together learners with a range of experience and motives\, to think about how oral history’s best practices apple to their work and personal lives. We emphasize listening\, collaboration\, co-creation\, ethics\, trauma training\, self-care\, familiarity with archival practices and project design\, though not all of these subjects will be covered at length in shorter (1 to 2-day) workshops. \n

SUMMARY:Oral History\, A Queer Art: NYC Trans Oral History Project: Public Event
DESCRIPTION:  \n4 PM to 5:30 PM (Doors open at 3:45 PM)\n Free and open to the public \nPlease join us as Michelle Esther O’Brien and Nico Fuentes present their work with the NYC Trans Oral History Project (NYC TOHP) in conversation with Suzanne Snider and the audience. \nNYC TOHP is a public\, online community archive devoted to the collection\, preservation and sharing of trans histories\, organized in collaboration with the New York Public Library. The NYC TOHP works to confront the erasure of trans lives and to record diverse histories of gender as intersecting with race and racism\, poverty\, dis/ability\, aging\, housing migration\, sexism\, and the AIDS crisis. \nDuring the event\, Fuentes and O’Brien will discuss some of the most challenging lessons related to the NYC Trans Oral History Project and the broader implications for rethinking best practices in oral history. This talk will address the Project’s and Collective’s emergent ideas around ownership\, vulnerability\, accessibility\, fetishization of orality/aurality\, compensation\, mission-driven work and collective liberation. \n  \nPresenters: \nMichelle Esther O’Brien is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Sociology at New York University. She is currently conducting dissertation research on LGBTQ social movements in New York City. Michelle also works as a Community Oral History Coordinator at the New York Public Library\, where she helps lead the New York City Trans Oral History Project. The Project is gathering a growing online archive of personal oral histories from trans New Yorkers. Michelle received her Masters of Social Work from the Hunter College School of Social Work\, CUNY (now Silberman School). She spent several years working in HIV/AIDS service agencies\, as a community organizer\, support group facilitator and case worker. She served as the Executive Director of Housing Here and Now\, at the time the leading coalition of tenant rights organizations in New York City. \nNico Fuentes is a rank and file organizer\, sex shop worker\, listener and sometimes speaker. She is interested in trans political organizing\, difference\, and bridging class and identity politics. She most recently completed a two year contract campaign at the Pleasure Chest NY and is looking forward to continuing to work with the New York Trans Oral History Project as an interviewer. \nSuzanne Snider is a writer\, documentarian\, and educator whose work is deeply influenced by oral history theory and practice. Her most recent projects have taken the shape of sound installation\, essays\, and archive design. In 2012\, she founded Oral History Summer School\, an interdisciplinary training program in upstate New York. She consults frequently for institutions and project teams; collaborations include the National Public Housing Museum\, MoMA\, Center for Reproductive Rights and the National Library of Kosovo. Her writing/audio work appear in The Guardian\, The Believer and The Washington Post\, along with several anthologies and artist catalogs. Snider teaches at The New School. With support from the Yaddo Corporation and the MacDowell Colony\, she is completing her first book\, The Revival. \n  \n  \n
