Description
This thesis explores potential for a community-based archives mindset inside an artist-run ecology. It demonstrates how an existing DIY and participatory ethos contributes to pluralising ‘the Archive’ through increased community facilitation efforts. The first project examines current practices, values, and needs, while the second employs queer archival practices to assemble, recast, and transmit ARI archives through a DIY workshop. They amplify the role of creative archival assemblages in fostering a sustainable future for primary resources, stories, ephemeral affects, and temporalities. Both advocate cultural heritage through multimodal zine and zine anthology making inside precarious artistic communities as 21st Century community archives.
