The Archive in Hand is a collaborative workshop series and publishing project exploring the role of textiles in recording, shaping and transmitting knowledge.
Over four sessions held at the Goldsmiths Textile Collection, we’ll be engaging with archival objects through hands-on, participatory workshops that centre material ways of knowing and learning, curated by Michaela Clarence and AYFP. Workshops will be led respectively by Sky Dair, Morag Seaton, Emily Fielding and Lu Rose Cunningham; four facilitators with a range of creative and research backgrounds including creative writing, fashion, archives and archaeologies.
Open to students, designers and anyone with a general interest in textiles or design, the sessions invite direct engagement with selected textile objects to spark dialogue, reflection and creative response. The insights and work generated through these workshops will inform a future publication outcome, published via AYFP (A Yarn & Fibre Publication).
More information on each of the workshops can be found via the Eventbrite page.
