UNFOLDING HISTORIES

THE ARCHIVE AS MODEL AND SOURCE FOR CRITICAL PRACTICES

The webinar series "Unfolding Histories: The Archive as Model and Source for Critical Practices" explores the evolving functions of archives in contemporary art, historical inquiry, and cultural memory. It investigates how archives not only preserve historical narratives but also serve as critical sites for interrogation and creative reinterpretation. Addressing themes such as the materiality and organization of photographic archives, the potential of archives for fostering unlearning and the relationship between archival preservation and exhibition practices, the series examines how archives both reinforce and challenge dominant narratives. By exploring how archives structure and mediate historical narratives, and examining innovative methodologies for archival research and display, this webinar series emphasizes the evolving relationship between archival practices, historical representation, and cultural production. These discussions aim to foster a nuanced understanding of the archive’s role in shaping, contesting, and reimagining histories.
