Interference Archive, Social movement archive in Park Slope, Brooklyn, United States.
Interference Archive is a social movement archive in Park Slope that collects posters, flyers, publications, zines, books, buttons, audio recordings, and digital materials from around the world. The collection documents activist campaigns and organizing efforts, remaining accessible to researchers, activists, and community members.
The archive was founded in 2011 from the personal collections of Josh MacPhee and Dara Greenwald, starting as a project to document social movements. In 2017, it relocated from the Gowanus neighborhood to Park Slope to better serve the community.
The archive collects posters and printed materials created by social movements from around the world and displays them through exhibitions and community workshops. Visitors can meet with activists and participate in discussions about how these objects represent struggles and ideas that matter to people.
The archive is run by volunteers and offers free access to materials for everyone without entry fees or reservations. Visitors can handle documents directly on-site and ask questions of staff members about what interests them most.
The archive encourages visitors to pick up and handle original posters and documents directly rather than viewing them behind barriers or glass. This approach lets people connect with the materials in a way that highlights how activists have used design and words to communicate their causes.
