So excited that Criterion has Madeline Anderson documentaries available this month -- I had never seen I AM SOMEBODY from 1970 (about the 1969 nurses strike in Charleston led by Black women). She stitches together labor and civil rights in way that is so smart and pungent!
Krannert Art Museum is reopening! We're delighted to announce that the museum will reopen to the public Feb 9. It's the perfect time to see the amazing work of Bea Nettles in Harvest of Memory https://t.co/zYJoWEkNWP

Carolina Miranda on why the end of Flash animation marks the end of an era for creativity on the web (plus new preservation challenges) https://t.co/FZFBosJPme
