In this workshop, join curator Aziz Sohail to investigate archival knowledge as a productive site from which to think of curating and exhibition-making. Through readings, writing exercises and co-making (please bring images, objects, texts, personal or otherwise, for sharing) we will consider the possibility of archive as an imagination and a space of feminist and queer worldmaking.
