Amandla is Unity: Learning from the Soweto ’76 Student Uprisings Critical Arching Workshop – 2/13/26

Amandla is Unity. Learning from the Soweto 1976 Student Uprisings. Critical Archiving Workshop. February 13 2026, at 12:30 PM. Location is 111 AIMM Galleries. All are welcome. No Registration Required. No experience required. Just your curiosity and creativity. All students, staff, and faculty are invited to this hands-on workshop to explore Amandla is Unity, an exhibition centering youth activism in the struggle against apartheid. Participants will work with reproductions of historical documents and learn to annotate, layer, reimagine, and remix them using a variety of craft materials. Through making, you'll see archives not as untouchable but as spaces you can engage with, question, and reshape. You'll be introduced to critical archiving methods that ask who is remembered, how histories are preserved, and how power operates in archives. These are tools you can use in your own research, reactive work, or activism. Make, think, and create together. For more information, email Dr. Marla L. Jaksch at jakschm@tcnj.edu.All students, staff, faculty, etc. are invited to this hands-on workshop to explore Amandla is Unity.
