Mayday Rooms - Archiving Radical Spaces

Social centres, info-shops, squats and collective spaces are key points of distribution and organising for radical politics. However, they are often just footnotes in archival collections, filling up the listing pages with the address of a meeting or event. Mayday Rooms wants to start building a collection around these spaces documenting their histories, processes of self-management and the movements they supported. During corona times they have been experimenting with online collaborative tools to help build archival collections and create new ways of interrogating the material. As part of this workshop they used collective FLOSS tools, such as Hot Glue and Etherpads, to explore how we can co-create material online together.
