As a student and an organizer during the Auraria Solidarity Encampment for Palestine, it was important to document the encampment from within the community that made it possible and to focus the project on the experiences and memories of the students.

Collections of knowledge about our social movements are invaluable resources for communities and resistance struggles. Because of this, they are also sites of institutional incorporation, rewriting, repression, and capture. Part of resistance to oppressive systems of power includes holding onto histories of social movements in ways that are part of the communities they come from. This project hopes to contribute to that work.

The oral histories were collected using a voice recorder and transcribed using Trint. They were edited by the interviewer and narrators. For more information on the methodology or other aspects of the project, contact AurariaStudentEncampment@proton.me
