Phase 1 Live Archive is an archive of Occupy Wall Street signs recreated from online documentation of occupations that have occurred worldwide. The signs in the archive are a growing installation, made collaboratively with the public (based on participants’ social justice interests), and used for ongoing public occupations and display.

In conjunction with exhibitions of this repository, I host public sign-making sessions featuring discussions of literal and metaphorical signs of interest to the workshop participants, the economy of protest materials, and analysis of signs most vital to the project in the context of the host city’s political history.

This same methodology has been used in A Century of Dissent: Harlem and A Century of Dissent: Miami also featured on this website.
