Working in close partnership with University of London’s Senate House Library\, the project accompanied students to take a dive into the library’s largely unknown yet expansive Special Collection of Latin American Political Pamphlets of the mid- to late-20th century. Inspired by the work of Brazilian pedagogist Paulo Freire\, the project intended to bring student’s worldviews and positionalities into the interpretation and treatment of the visual artefacts contained in the collection. \nThe exhibition was first launched on Wednesday 30 March 2022\, at the Exchange of King’s College London\, but it is also set to travel to different locations across the world in the coming year. The first stop is here\, at the London Spanish Book and Zine Fair\, where we invite you to join us in reopening this box of political pamphlets and bringing the materials back to life by engaging with them and giving new meaning to their contents. \nThe launch of the exhibition at the fair will be preceded by the in-conversation CLACS \, Senate House Library activity ‘From the Political Pamphlet to the Activist Zine in Latin America’ which will draw on the Senate House Library Latin American Political Pamphlets Collection. \nSaturday 1st October 2022: 11 am to 5 pm \nSunday 2nd October 2022: 12.30 pm to 5 pm
