The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space

Back in mid-December I started volunteering remotely with the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space, an amazing new museum in NYC’s Lower East Side dedicated to grassroots activism, with a specific focus on squats and community gardens. They needed someone to help with research/history-based posts for Twitter and Facebook, and I had a good collection of related research material amassed over the past seven years of writing The Revolution of Every Day.

Last week I officially took over the running of the museum’s social media, as well as the website and blog. I got so homesick for New York when the museum opened. I’m excited to be a part of the collective, to have a concrete way to pitch in from a distance. And I’m especially excited to visit the next time I’m back in town. They’re doing good, important work at MoRUS, and they’re entirely volunteer-run. Go check them out if you’re in New York.
