Working with Archives

15:00 – 16:00

Archives present a sometimes confusing terrain for artists and curators to navigate. Archival documentation, film and ephemera also offer an opportunity for histories to become renegotiated and entangled in the present. Is preservation just a matter of preserving formal objects, or also a question of retaining this ability to engage with multiple temporalities? To keep history in view from the perspective of a fast-moving present? Join artists, curators and archivists working with an expansive view of what the archive can offer.
