Housing Justice Oral History Project
by timothy martin
This project aims to collect the oral testimonies of leaders in the struggle for housing justice across Canada. These are educational materials, bearing witness to the violence of dehousing. They reveal a movement characterized by plural voices, a strong commitment to collective freedom, and endless examples of creative interruption.These materials are intended to assist in the passing on of practices, traditions, and stories within the housing justice movement. But they are also intended to educate the public about the housing crisis and the experience of dehousing. The educational force of storytelling re-orients the listener; we cannot return to the world we knew before hearing the witness. No, we must enter into a new praxis that accepts the charge before us—a charge to listen to the past, to listen to the other, and to pursue a world with space for everyone.The oral history interviews collected here are done in collaboration with several organizations, most based

What is the Housing Justice Oral History Project?
In this trailer, timothy martin explores some of the thinking that underpins the project, while we get glimpses into the testimonies offered in the “episodes” to come. Each oral history interview preserves the voices and memory of significant contributors to the housing justice movement in Canada. As Beric German says, this is…a time… We are living through a time. It is a time for action, a time for stories, a time for remembrance—the bouquets of whispering grasses that we must, each of us, gather up and pass on to a world that is not yet. Yet we must also do the work of making the world that we imagine, the one we hope to share. With thanks to The Colonel, Gaetan Heroux, Bob Rose, Beric German, Cathy Crowe, my supervisor Ann Chinnery (SFU), and others.
