Event overview
Fragility gives us responsibility—to take care.
(Sara Ahmed, Living a Feminist Life, 2018)
Archives are fragile. Their material existence relies upon physical maintenance, supporting infrastructure and personal care. At the same time, archives are a central as a site of contemporary politics.
By taking care and preserving the archive's life, feminist activists, thinkers, artists, curators, performers and writers activate the archive, producing interventions that propose new perspectives on how to inhabit the present differently. Activating the Archive. Artistic Politics, Feminist Viewpoints unfoldes and discusses practices of re-enactment, sound, listening, narration, storytelling, and performance that explore the archive in its potential and as a source for re-thinking and re-organising the relations of past/present, temporality/space, historiography/narration storytelling/memory, affects/feelings from a feminist viewpoint.
Led by Barbara Mahlknecht with guests Lucia Farinati, Catherine Grant, Althea Greenan and Maria Tamboukou
