  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

The Interference Archive is volunteer-run archive and museum that was established in 2011 from the personal collection of two local activists, Dara Greenwald and Josh MacPhee. It houses an impressive collection of materials centered around social movements around the world, including posters, flyers, publications, and other ephemera.

The archive’s mission is to preserve and share the often-overlooked histories of activist groups and their efforts to effect change (try saying that three times fast). The collection is mean to be interactive, visitors are encouraged to open boxes and sort through the collection.

The space also hosts exhibitions, workshops, and events that encourage community involvement and dialogue on critical social issues. This unique intersection of art, activism and history makes Interference Archive one of the most underrated museums in Brooklyn.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
