On May Day 2021 at Fort Greene Park Brooklyn, and part of ShowUp NY, Textual Records and Brief Histories collaborated to create a space for listening to the musical sounds and scores of labor and resistance. Brief Histories Press produced limited edition silk-screened wearable playlist t-shirts and the community was served popsicles from the Icey Cream wagon.  

Textual Records is a record label dedicated to the distribution of sound, music, and text by contemporary artists. As a form of publication, the label focuses on the simultaneity of inscription – the textual, sonic, and musical markings created within the context of art. Limited editions are produced in LP, CD, or cassette form in collaboration with the artists and other entities. Textual Records is a project of artists Angel Nevarez and Valerie Tevere.
