Los Angeles Contemporary Archive: Break Room Workshops 'Museum Unions'
Break room workshops are led by artists who have co-organized a collection with Los Angeles Contemporary Archive (LACA). Together we will handle and discuss archive materials to question and explore moods and feelings that unfold from these collections.

MUSEUM UNIONS
We invite participants to engage with materials from the MOCA Union collection, which contains items that help to tell the story of the unionizing efforts at MOCA by workers who came together to collectively improve their working conditions. This discussion will be facilitated by educator, artist, and MOCA Union President Olivia Leiter.
We will ask together: What items help tell the story of art workers unionizing efforts? What biases and fantasies are you bringing into the collection? What materials might be missing from this collection?
