Archives and Archiving are becoming vital practices during the contemporary crisis as not only organizing the data and knowledge but also providing future discourses on the production of knowledge and institutions. As a modernist institutional tradition, archiving has potentialities for diverse institutional practices and as well as self-organized non-institutional entities. How we can think about an “archive” as a fluid, entangled, and an open entity that leads us freely to connect the existing materials but prompts at the same time critical discourses? How to construct an inter-media based narrative of an archive that may exist with several forms of the medium from photographs to documents and ect.? How to create an archive that reveals a collective memory that is potentially active for the future? How to transform an archive to an exhibition; what is the curatorial strategy of it? How Dearchiving become archives too?
This workshop will try to provide answers to such questions and as well as support to ongoing archive. The workshop will be structured through several layers: Archive as materials, Archive as discourses, Archive as Collectivity, Archive as exhibitions.
