&lt;p&gt;Thanks for coming folks — It was awesome. I am very self-critic so I have many notes on what I could have done better, but I’m really excited that the event went well and I can get back on a regular sleeping pattern :) More to come soon!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.kameelahr.com/post/51040187280</link><guid>http://blog.kameelahr.com/post/51040187280</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 22:32:39 -0400</pubDate><category>thefindingaid</category></item><item><title>Prepping postcards for #thefindingaid

And while I could attest to that, more than anything, I was a tiger dying amongst the sprawling jungle. I longed for a cage of my own. My apartment, a two bedroom overlooking the gentrification of Philadelphia, had a décor of my design. I picked out the furniture, including the Ikea futon I dubbed “death trap,” and gave every trinket and knick-knack their designated spots: high school diploma and Bachelor’s degree over my black computer desk, novelty shot-glasses along the top of my bookcase and various Buddha figurines, from flea markets in South Jersey, on my dresser and nightstands. And of course, my vinyl collection, a two hundred piece of my heart that took me to the dustiest, most allergenic music stores on the East Coast.””&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://longform.org/fiction" target="_blank"&gt;Longform Fiction is featuring my short story (and first ever publication) “Saturn Return,” originally published in 2008 by Up The Staircase.&lt;/a&gt; (via &lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://mensahdemary.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;mensahdemary&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Container List [Exhibition Module]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The third part of &lt;a href="http://thefindingaid.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Finding Aid: Black Women at the Intersection of Art and Archiving&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; will be structured around the &lt;a href="http://www2.archivists.org/glossary/terms/c/container-list" target="_blank"&gt;container list&lt;/a&gt; section of a finding aid. During this module, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;each artist will exhibit fragments from her collection(s) in the atrium. We are so excited to interact with Salome Asega’s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sistah Friends Project&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; mobile archive prototype!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/45172da06db0e0a892ccd36aca818945/tumblr_inline_mmu6mb9vnL1qz4rgp.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salome: &lt;/strong&gt;I’ve been recently thinking of creative ways for the Sistah Friends Project to expand its archival practice and reach new audiences in a way that’s aligned with the personal, hands on feeling of our self-portrait/oral narrative workshops. I was reminded of a good friend &lt;a href="http://www.anenvyclick.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Kevin Clancy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;’s project&lt;a href="http://www.portableutopia.org/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Portable Utopia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Kevin created a mobile resource library and learning platform that he took to Johannesburg and also uses is Pittsburg. His project also reminds me of the Bronx Traveling Library.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="im"&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/57c0e09bf8c2d8edff9d731635bed90b/tumblr_inline_mmu6o8VL5O1qz4rgp.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I have been influenced by these precedents to create a mobile archive for the Sistah Friends Project. The mobile archive is part library, part self-portrait station, and part recording studio. The SFP Mobile Archive is an attempt to make our workshop curriculum physical and nomadic. I will be exhibiting the first prototype of the project at #TheFindingAid. Make sure to come by, take a picture, and record your thoughts on the event.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

A scope and content note summarizes a collection and provides descriptive information such as what materials makeup the collection, how those materials were created and what information can be found within them. The purpose of our scope and content note module will be to introduce the audience to the participating artists’ collection(s) and archive(s).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Since Ms. Ladi’Sasha Jones will be working behind the scenes during the event, take a tour of the The Ladi Jones Documentation Collection now! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;IV: Ladi’Sasha Jones and The Ladi Jones Documentation Collection&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ladi’Sasha G. Jones, born 1988 in Harlem, is a cultural/witness worker and oral historian. The Ladi Jones Documentation Collection span 2006 - 2013, bulk dates 2010 - 2013. The collection consist of digital-audio files, transcriptions, project proposals, journals, unpublished writings (drafts) and correspondences. The bulk of her collection highlights the narratives of Harlem residents, which includes documentation of her family life. Ladi’Sasha has interviewed Black doulas, veterans, artists, and women on the topics of race, coming-of-age, body politics, sexuality and home. Materials in this collection also cover topics of Black girlhood, identity, love, gender, healing trauma, mothering, dreaming, poverty, aging, and writing.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;// Tuesday, May 21, 2013 @ 6:30pm Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture Langston Hughes Auditorium //&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;_______&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Historical Note [Panel Module]&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The first part of &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;T&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;he Finding Aid: Black Women at the Intersection of Art and Archiving&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; will be structured around the historical note* section of a finding aid. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Our historical note will be a panel discussion between traditional archivists, archivists/artists and artists who enlists archival traditions. The purpose of this module is to contextualize our ideas and will ground our audience for the rest of the event. The panelists will engage in a dialogue around that artistic sweet spot – that intersection of something that is seemingly functional and pedagogical while also being beautiful. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We will answer such questions as: Who “counts” as an archivist? and What tools can we use to democratize archives and the role of an archivist? &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We are looking forward to engaging with Miranda Mims around her work preserving the histories of Black women/Black women artists/etc.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Miranda-Tarisa Mims is an archivist at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in the Manuscripts, Archives and Rare Books Division.  She was trained in archival practice at the Library for the Department of Semitic &amp; Egyptian Languages &amp; Literatures and its Institute of Christian Oriental Research (ICOR) at Catholic University, where she also received her MS in Library and Information Science.  Miranda also holds a master’s from Howard University in African Studies and International Relations. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Other panelists include: Arianne Edmonds, Joyce-LeeAnn Joseph, Kameelah Rasheed and Shawn(ta) Smith. For more information on them, please visit our&lt;a href="http://thefindingaid.tumblr.com/artists" target="_blank"&gt;artists page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;*The biographical/historical note of a finding aid contextualizes the collection. It provides an overview of an individual(s) or organization and details that are useful for a researcher’s engagement with the rest of the finding aid and the actual collection. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.kameelahr.com/post/50396523680</link><guid>http://blog.kameelahr.com/post/50396523680</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 May 2013 23:35:16 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Happy Mother’s Day!
