Overview
Robin’s project, Live the Revolution Now, will be an interactive web documentary recording the history and legacy of Movement for a New Society (MNS) with an emphasis on their impact in West Philadelphia. Free and available to the public, the project will explore MNS using writing, illustration, stop-motion, narration, archival interviews and footage. Visitors will also be allowed to submit their own stories, reflections, and archival documents in the process. Robin’s goal is that through exploring the stories of MNS’ development and struggles, activists of today will gain insights into their own organizing efforts.
