WHAT DOES AN UPRISING DOULA DO?

Uprising is a word that can be found across time in archives, news reports, group texts, and more, meaning many things to different people. In this zine over 20 different artists, HIV activists, COVID-19 long haulers, friends, archivists, and freedom fighters share thoughts, feelings, and actions on what Uprising means to them. Through their collected images, short personal reflections, poetry, and more, no single idea of what an uprising is, or what a doula can do, is put forth. Rather, what emerges is a multifaceted testament to the power and experiences of communities dispossessed, othered, and marginalized across history, including in this time of pandemics, protests, and political strife. Co-presented with One Archives Foundation in support of the exhibition, Metanoia: Transformation through AIDS Archives and Activism. Edited by Abdul-Aliy A. Muhammad and Pato Hebert.
