Sometimes we need to step back to see where we are. Through short talks, guided mapping exercises, journaling and feedback from international peers in breakout rooms, you’ll leave with new methods and perspectives to nourish your project and move it forward.

✽ WHO IT'S FOR
Artists, researchers and archivists working with archives, at any stage of their project: an early idea, a project in progress, or one that feels stuck. Centered on artistic research, open to archival projects in any field or medium.

✽ WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY
→ A clear, systematized map of your archival project
→ Feedback and conversation with international peers working on similar questions, in small breakout rooms
→ Sharper research questions and a sense of your project's limits
→ Concrete next steps: what to do and where to go
→ Practical tools for artistic research with archives

✽ SLIDING SCALE
$33 – $66+ Suggested $66, minimum $33.
Choose what fits your situation; no explanation needed. Paying more helps make the space accessible to others.
