In Relation: Power and Presence in Archives (online)

An Art360 x Hauser & Wirth Institute event with Topher Campbell, Dominique Luster and Erika Tan, moderated by Lisa Darms

Tuesday 22nd March, 1.30-3pm EST / 5.30-7pm GMT

Through an open conversation moderated by Lisa Darms, Executive Director of Hauser & Wirth Institute, the speakers explored the complexities of relationships to and within archives created by both individuals and institutions. The discussion centered on relationships, power and presence in archives, with speakers considering ‘who’s in, who’s out, whose archive?,’ how archives can exist in dialogue, and how their framing and discoverability uphold systems of power or, conversely, can bear witness to lives, bodies and communities.
