⛺ ARCHIVES CAMP is an invitation to nurture and amplify our archival projects. Seven days to explore processes of image, memory and writing, between the river and nature. Through artistic and affective methodologies, between 10 and 15 artists will work on their material, rehearsing other practices of editing and writing, in a caring and scommunity-learning environment. A temporary community to read, enrich and experience other ways of doing with others, starting from our own projects.
The residence will have a mixed structure. In the mornings, we will set up a space for:
❊ Morning writing routine
❊ Reading texts about memory, art and archive
❊ Viewing of references
❊ Writing about creative processes
❊ Exercises relating to our own material
❊ Exercises on affective memory practice
In the afternoons, sensitised by other ways of doing and perspectives, working on our personal projects.
Artists, researchers, activists, writers, filmmakers, photographers, curators, archivists, librarians who have an artistic project with archival material, at any stage of production. By archive we mean any collection of images, writings, films, sounds or objects that form an affective and meaningful whole, eager to be activated and explored. Up to 13 artists/proposals will be accepted.
