From the organizer:
Over two months after the inaugural public workshop on queer and feminist archiving, numerous individuals and groups have engaged in archiving practices and expressed interest in this field. A recurring theme has been the practice of care, particularly community care, in the context of building queer and feminist archiving communities.
In response, the Goethe-Institut Hanoi, A Queer Museum, Babau-AIR, and It’s T time are organizing the second public workshop. This event will feature discussions on the experiences of building archiving communities in Hong Kong and Berlin (Germany), alongside presentations on research into the development of personal/private archives in Vietnam.
Join us to explore these vital topics and contribute to the ongoing dialogue on queer and feminist archiving.
