Port Huron Project Reenactment (Angela Davis speech 8/2) & similar works

I'm still not sure what to make of it, beyond filing it under the banner of archive-fever, but in addition to a number of recent archival/art projects in the bay (Theory of Survival at the Lab and now at Yerba Buena, which I HIGHLY recommend - http://www.theoryofsurvival.com/ - the CCA storage container show, the Jonestown exhibit at MIssion17 -http://mission17.org/exhibits/JonestownHadAGarden.htm - etc etc), there have also been a number of 're-enactments', ranging from the re-staging (if that's the word) of several Kaprow happenings in LA, similar performance art "covers" in NY, and the like. Of course historical re-enactments are not new, nor are leftist historical 'legacy' tours (labor history walks in SF as part of Yerba Buena's Ground Scores exhibit, the Black Panther Legacy Tour, NY Radical History tour, the Counterpulse SF Bicycle Tours - http://www.shapingsf.org/biketours.html - etc etc), but I'm curious about the impulse to restage radical political and/or artistic "events" - Jeremy Deller's Battle of Orgreave being an exemplary project - http://www.channel4.com/fourdocs/archive/battle_of_orgreave.html - anyways... here are two local items of note:

1. The Port Huron Project is staging a reenactment of a 1969 Angela Davis speech this Sat at 6pm in deFremery Park in Oakland. http://www.nothing.org/porthuronproject/
note that the night before at the Oakland Museum Mark Tribe of the PHP will be in conversation with EMORY DOUGLAS (!) and Nato Thompson, to discuss the PHP, the BPP, and the experimental doc CHICAGO 10 -

2. The Oakland General Strike Re-enactment Society did an event this weekend commemorating the 1946 strike, and is holding a follow up meeting this Wed. Here's the cut-n-pasted email:

Dear fellow rabble rousers, street performers, and radical
historians...

- Did you know that in 1946 there were more strikes and work
stoppages than ever before or after in U.S. history?

- Did you know that in this same year there were 6 general strikes
in the U.S.?

- Did you know that the last of these general strikes took place in
Oakland?

- Are you interested in bringing this local radical history to life
in a creative way that connects with current workers' struggles in
our community?

Well, the Oakland General Strike Reenactment Society wants to do
just that. A few of us have just started talking about this, and we
would really love to make it come together with you!

If you would like to learn more about the 1946 General Strike, below
is some info on a history walk that is taking place this Saturday as
part of LaborFest.

The Reenactment Society will meet up to discuss this idea more next
week on Wendesday July 30th at 7pm at Pacific Coast Brewing Company
(906 Washington) in downtown Oakland. Are you interested?
