WikiArchive: Resistance Memory

Hello there folks <3

Inspired by how much fun I’m having revisiting my personal photo archive from almost 9 years of political activism in Albania, I decided to start uploading them on WikiCommons, categorized by the events they were taken at. The idea is to create a historic chronology of grassroots movements in modern-day Albania.

After sharing this with @irdiismaili, we thought it would be great to organize some meetups with LibreLabs/Wikimedia Group to explore how we can collectively contribute to this topic.

We propose an initial meeting on September 12, 6:30–7:30pm.

Initial topics I have in mind, based on the archive:
Workers’ movements in Albania (oil refining workers, garment workers, miners, call center workers, farmers, May 1st protests)
Student movements in Albania (1991, 2011, 2013–2020)
Feminist movements (March 8th, protests against femicid, guerrilla acts)
Environmental movements (Vjosa, Nartë, Zall Gjocaj, Skavica, water protests in the South)
Palestine solidarity
Queer movements (3 phases) (Pride, artistic/activist actions, campaigns)

Would love to discess this further :slight_smile:
See you!

Could be nice to have category-list to organize the pages, and later can put older stuff too. Looking forward to this :slight_smile:
