Lecture by Claude Marks: Documentary and Archival Work in Times of Crisis: Symbols of Resistance and Los Seis de Boulder
On September 6, 2019, Claude Marks visited campus and gave a guest lecture:
Please join filmmaker, journalist, archivist, and former political prisoner Claude Marks for a discussion of his most recent documentary Symbols of Resistance about the Chicana/o Movement as it emerged in Colorado and New Mexico. Through reflecting on the making of Symbols, Mr. Marks will explore the questions, What does responsible documentary work look like? How do we uplift subjugated history? And why?
As a reporter and production director at KPFA-Berkeley in the 1960s and 1970s, Mr. Marks produced award-winning radio programs such as the weekly news programs “The Real Dragon” and “Nothing Is More Precious Than.” Mr. Marks currently runs the Freedom Archives, a San Francisco-based non-profit educational archive of audio, video, and print materials pertaining to social movements of the 1960s through the 1990s such as the Chicana/o Movement, the American Indian Movement, Black Power, and women’s, lesbian, and gay movements.
