WORKSHOPS


This workshop invites participants to rethink the archive as a space of selection, interpretation, and construction. Combining an artist talk, theoretical discussion, and hands-on experimentation, participants will build temporary archives and critically examine how archives produce meaning through processes of inclusion, exclusion, and recontextualisation.
