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 of Dr. shady Radical.
Resonances include the work of: Saidiya Hartman, Fred Moten, Cedric Robinson, 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.
Our Story
The Radical Archive Project or T.R.A.P. is the imagined community of artists and students working to keep the body at the center. Founded in 2019, shady Radical imagined a space where scholarship and practice collided in powerful, meaningful, and implicating ways. Through archival research and practice, we create performances and rituals to activate the senses towards the recognition and appreciation of the human spirit and perseverance through struggle and adversity.
