SUMMARY:Archives and Queer Counter-Narratives
DESCRIPTION:Image Credits: Queer Archive for Memory\, Reflection\, and Acti
 vism (QAMRA)\, Bengaluru\n\nThis workshop brings together two powerful too
 ls of counter-narrative—art and the queer archive—to explore how we ca
 n use them in tandem to tell stories of our own. Together\, as participant
 s and facilitators\, we will experiment with ways of broadening our relati
 onship with history\, critically examining the present\, and imagining the
  futures we hope for and work towards.\n\nThrough a series of hands-on exe
 rcises and discussions\, we will explore three key themes:\n\nPreservation
 \n- What do we choose to preserve\, and how? We will engage with a range o
 f materials to think about preservation both practically and politically.\
 n\nOrganisation\n- How does the structure of memory storage shape how it i
 s understood? We’ll reflect on different archival logics and the possibi
 lities of queering archival organisation\n\nAccess\n- How do we dream thro
 ugh the archive? We’ll imagine the audiences of the future and consider 
 how we want our saved materials to speak to them.\n\nThis workshop is an i
 nvitation to think\, feel\, and make within the space of collective memory
  and queer futurity.\n\n&nbsp\;
