Our Mission
At The Radical Archive Project AKA t.r.a.p. our mission is to preserve performance cultures, communities, and artists' work through archival education, consultation, and the execution of preservation projects. This project is inspired by The Black Radical Tradition as learned through the study of the philosophical and intellectual tradition by Dr. shady Radical. ​
Resonances include the work of: Cedric Robinson, Saidiya Hartman, Fred Moten, Walter Rodney, W.E.B. DuBois, Angela Davis, Malcolm X, Robin Kelly, Cornel West, Assata Shakur, Frederick Douglass, Frantz Fanon, Marcus Garvey, Audre Lorde, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, and Amiri Baraka to name a few.​
The Radical Archive Project is particularly invested in articulating, celebrating, and preserving black humanity as understood through the black women's experience.
the black radical tradition
"As scholar Cedric Robinson coined it, the Black radical tradition...is a collection of cultural, intellectual, action-oriented labor aimed at disrupting social, political, economic, and cultural norms originating in anticolonial and antislavery efforts."
- Drs. Dominique Thomas and Tabbye M. Chavous

Rooted in Memory II
Community Series
Rooted in Memory is a living, participatory space for reflection, remembering, and community exchange. This Padlet invites you to engage with The Radical Archive Project (T.R.A.P.) by sharing stories, images, questions, and creative responses.
The space also hosts an ongoing Radical Archivy conversation with archival professionals working across communities, institutions, and practices. Together, we explore how memory is cared for, activated, and passed on.
