Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project

AVIATE Alignment:
AUTHORSHIP
INTERCULTURALISM

Marion Stokes, a former librarian, began to secretly record television 24 hours a day for 30 years until her death in 2012. Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project, a documentary film that premiered at the Tribeca film festival, explores how Stokes viewed recording television as a form of activism. 

At this event, participants will view selected clips from the documentary and discuss what it means to create records and to collect information, both personally and within a culture or community. You’ll record your own responses during the screening, then join fellow participants to share your thoughts on the documentary, the meaning of collecting, and what records can tell us about the people who created them.
