General Admission

Join Muslim Counterpublics Lab for a closing reception of&nbsp;Shattering Justice &amp; Re-Making the Muslim Threat at the American Poetry Museum and a zine-making workshop exploring memory as an act of resistance. The exhibit traces how the War on Terror has constructed Muslims as threats to justify warfare, surveillance, criminalization, detention, and torture. Together, we will reflect on these histories and the lives, experiences, and resistance that dominant narratives have silenced or erased. Building on MCL and Muslim Power Building Project&#39;s zine call, &ldquo;We Remember What They Tried to Erase,&rdquo; the workshop will use the exhibit as inspiration for participants to write, collage and art to create zines to share our stories, honor our grief, and articulate our demands for justice. What do we refuse to let be forgotten? Whose stories do we carry? What futures can we imagine beyond the violence of the War on Terror? As the exhibit closes, we will carry its questions into a shared practice of memory and remembrance and the power - and indeed necessity to document our histories, challenge the narratives that justify state violence, and tell our stories on our own terms. No prior zine-making experience is necessary. Light snacks will be provided.
