About Archival Imaginations
The 2022-23 Society of Fellows programming brings together scholars, artists, activists and archivists to explore the concept of the “archive” as a mode of inquiry, invention and knowledge production. Troubling static notions of context and singular histories, the year’s workshops provide an opportunity to explore established canons and conventions that sustain certain ways of knowing and remembering and the incompleteness of the historical record thereby engaging the power of archival practices as mechanisms of social justice.
This workshop will explore zines as sites of knowledge production that disrupt conventional ways of knowing, learning, remembering, and documenting. We will focus on zines as cultural productions that materialize the pursuit of social transformation through protests on the page. Participants will create zines and have the option of producing per-zines (personal narrative zines) or collaborative zines that reflect personal and collective interests and urgencies.
