Event Description

This workshop brings together two powerful tools of counter-narrative—art and the queer archive—to explore how we can use them in tandem to tell stories of our own. Together, as participants and facilitators, we will experiment with ways of broadening our relationship with history, critically examining the present, and imagining the futures we hope for and work towards.

Through a series of hands-on exercises and discussions, we will explore three key themes: Preservation – What do we choose to preserve, and how? We will engage with a range of materials to think about preservation both practically and politically.

Organisation – How does the structure of memory storage shape how it is understood? We’ll reflect on different archival logics and the possibilities of queering archival organisation

Access – How do we dream through the archive? We’ll imagine the audiences of the future and consider how we want our saved materials to speak to them.

This workshop is an invitation to think, feel, and make within the space of collective memory and queer futurity.
