COLLECTIVE RESEARCH THEMES AND RESOURCES COLLECTED DURING DAYS OF REFLECTION:

 

Research and creation as archival modality

 

Feminist definition and queer archives to invent collectively.

 

  • What would be the proofs, the truths and the legitimate data to collect?

  • Politicize forms of knowledge and archival empathy (donation, sharing, conversation, handover, transmission)

  • Role of Affects Theories: desire, lack, anger, love, addiction, enjoyment, humiliation ...

  • The meaning of experiences generated in collective and private spaces

  • The material and intangible dimension of archives

  • How to archive the loss? How to archive the absence? The unknown ?

  • Enabling archives by performance and exposure format

  • Dynamics Top- Bottom on the issue of archives: The archivist and the archivé.e

  • Queer and Feminist Code of Ethics for Archival Methodology

  • (Who archives? Who is archived? How?)

  • The work of interpretation and listen. How to tell a word?

  • To archive anger, disgust and shame: are traumas archivable? Can we relate the affect?

  • Disabling archival objects (assembly and events: knowledge-located)

  • The ghostly temporalities, the dead who speak to us, the speech mute.

  • Invention of a queer methodology and feminist language of the archive on display

  • How to preserve the critical function of affects?

  • How to revive and make the archives alive?

  • How to conceive a moving exhibition and evolutive dialogues between works? (dismantling, reconfiguration, visible-invisible areas, disappearances, emergence of different temporalities)

During the process of organizing the show, with individual and collective meetings, the artists will be invited to think about the idea of "handover and transmission" and in a collective reflection, we will reflect together on how to take care of our memories without building new authoritarian and linear discourses and leaving room for subjectivity and affects ("knowing-situating" our stories).
