The We Tell: Fifty Years of Participatory Community Media national touring exhibition recently had a five-day run at Anthology Film Archives in New York City from December 12-17, 2019.  All six programs in the exhibition were screened with invited featured makers.

It is programmed in six themes emerging in community media:  Body Publics, Collaborative Knowledges, Environments of Race and Place, States of Violence, Turf, and Wages of Work.

The exhibition features 41 media works from 36 diverse community-based producers, and works from 19 states and Puerto Rico.
