Details
Activating the Archives includes a performance, exhibition, film screening, panel event and an audio walk around GWL.
Using artefacts and sources from the library collection and archive as stimuli for performance making, artists have delved into forms of autobiographical storytelling such as diaries and zines considering these as valuable ways to understand women’s lives. Who lives on the shelves of GWL’s archive? How can performance bring archival material to life? We hope you can join us for an afternoon of live performance and discussion and to glimpse some of the archive materials on display.
