Archiving for Artists Testimonials
“Highly recommend this workshop! I was part of the winter cohort, and it really helped me to think more expansively about the legacy of my work & of community projects I'm involved with, what can be part of an archive, who has access and why, how to organize and sort materials, and working with collaborators. Not to mention, you get to be in conversation with a lovely group of people who are all working on such diverse and fascinating projects.”
— Britt Hart, scholarship recipient“This workshop is perfect and accommodating for anyone at any level in their archiving journey, but more importantly it creates community in just four short weeks! And it's great that many participants were doing work outside of traditional institutions."
