The group, REPOhistory, was founded in New York City in 1989 and included multi-ethnic
visual and performance artists, writers, filmmakers, and historians. Taking its name
from the concept of "repossessing history," its purpose was to bring to light absent
historical narratives involving, colonialism, race, gender, and class through public
installations, performances, educational activities, printed matter and other visual
media. The collection includes operation records, proofs of original artworks, promotional
materials, source materials, and files of several founding members.
