Who was there before us in our movements? How can we own the narrative of our histories?
In the heart of a bustling library and archive in Athens, born through the claims of the Greek feminist movement in the 80s, we meet Irene: an archivist, librarian and feminist. Amidst the books, journals and clippings of the archive, we discuss libraries as sites of collective learning and exploration, where diverse voices converge and histories intertwine.
We talk about how libraries and archives are more than just repositories but catalysts for change, documenting movements and revealing untold stories of community learning. In these spaces of gathering and discovery, we see how sharing languages, stories, and demands, bit by bit transcend great narratives and showcase that transformative action is forged day by day, get together by get together, book by book.
